House Bill No. by Representative Beaullieu amends R.S. 17:1208 to increase the number of personal leave days that teachers employed by parish or city school boards can take without loss of pay. The bill changes the allowable personal leave days from two to four per school year for teachers who do not receive annual leave. Teachers must provide at least twenty-four hours' notice to their principal before taking this leave, which will be deducted from their sick leave balance.

Additionally, the bill retains the existing provisions regarding sick leave, which allows teachers to take up to ten days of absence per school year for personal illness or emergencies without loss of pay. The proposed changes aim to provide teachers with greater flexibility in managing their personal leave while maintaining the structure of sick leave as outlined in current law.
