Bill > HB2343

This bill revises the laws regarding teacher leave in Tennessee, specifically amending provisions related to personal and professional leave, and sick leave. It establishes that teachers will earn personal and professional leave at a rate of two days for every half-year employed, as determined by local school board policies. Additionally, the bill increases the number of days teachers can use for sick leave, providing up to eight days per year for those on ten-month contracts, nine days for eleven-month contracts, and ten days for twelve-month contracts, with the allowance to transfer unused personal and professional leave days into sick leave, and all sick leave days being cumulative. This act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
