The Superintendent shall be entitled paid vacation per year as set forth in the Superintendent’s individual employment contract.  The Business Manager/Treasurer, Board Secretary/Human Resources Manager and Administrative Assistant shall be entitled to fifteen days of paid vacation per year.

Other employees, full-time and part-time, who are regularly contracted to work twelve months per year shall be entitled to paid vacation as follows:

  • 1st year of employment………………….……......… 5 days
  • 2nd through 10th years of employment…………….10 days
  • 11th through 15th years of employment……………15 days
  • 16th year of employment and thereafter……….…..20 days

Vacation days shall be calculated as of July 1 each year.  Vacation days shall be pro-rated if the employee commences or terminates employment during the contract year (July 1 – June 30).  However, if an employee commences employment after April 30, the employee shall be entitled to only 5 paid vacation days until the July 1 after completing a full year of employment.  Employees will be paid for earned, unused vacation time upon termination of employment.  If the employee has used more vacation days than the employee has earned, the final paycheck shall be reduced.

The Superintendent shall establish vacation schedules.  Vacation days must be taken in one-half or full day increments.  Vacation days may not be carried over to subsequent contract years.
