Senate Bill 522 amends the Education Code to prohibit a school district's board of trustees from adopting a policy governing an employee's use of personal leave provided under the state minimum personal leave program that restricts the order in which an employee may use the state minimum personal leave and any additional personal leave provided by the school district. The bill entitles a public school employee who retains any sick leave accumulated under the former minimum sick leave program to use that sick leave or personal leave in any order to the extent that the leave used is appropriate to the purpose of the leave. The bill makes its provisions applicable beginning with the 2009-2010 school year.
