The Superintendent last night withdrew his suggestion to the Board to change its policy to prevent teachers from taking personal leave on the days immediately preceding or following a holiday. The Personnel Services committee (Marshall, Reed, Geurin, Stevens) was reviewing the proposal and expressing considerable skepticism. Board members had received a considerable amount of email from teachers in the past two weeks opposing the new restriction.
Instead of the Superintendent's proposal, the Board will consider removing the current policy which only allows principals to deny leave based on availability of substitutes. This would free principals to make decisions on leave based on instructional impact on students.
