This bill proposes an amendment to the Code of West Virginia by adding a new section, 18A-2-16, which allows public school instructors to bank any unused sick leave or personal leave days to the following academic year. The intent of this legislation is to provide teachers with the flexibility to carry over their unused leave, thereby enhancing their ability to manage their time off and ensuring they do not lose benefits accrued during the academic year.

The new legal language specifies that any unused sick leave or personal leave by a public school instructor may be carried over to the next academic year, promoting better work-life balance for educators. This change aims to support teachers in maintaining their health and well-being while also ensuring that they have the necessary time off when needed without the fear of losing their accrued leave.
