Staff Sick Leave Policies

Staff sick leave policies are essential to easing the stress and anxiety felt by educators who may become sick or who have a person at higher risk from COVID-19 in their household.

• Leave policies should include the process for educators to work virtually should they be required to stay at home, as well as other leave policies such as pooling personal/sick days so that staff can access days beyond their own accrual.

• Teachers required to quarantine at home due to exposure in the classroom should not be required to use sick leave.
