Bill Summary
Amend KRS 161.155 to allow school district employees to use sick leave for observance of religious holidays not otherwise included on the school's calendar, provided the employee submits a personal statement verifying the observance and gives advance notice to the district.
AI Summary
This bill amends Kentucky Revised Statute (KRS) 161.155 to allow school district employees, including teachers, to use their accumulated sick leave for observing religious holidays that are not already part of the school calendar. To utilize this provision, the employee must provide a personal statement confirming the observance of the religious holiday and give advance notice to the school district, with the district determining what constitutes sufficient notice. This change expands the existing uses of sick leave, which previously included personal illness, caring for an ill immediate family member, or mourning a deceased immediate family member.
