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 the bill is to provide teachers with the option to carry over their unused leave, thereby offering them greater flexibility and support in managing their time off.

The new legal language inserted into the current law specifies that any unused sick leave or personal leave by a public school instructor may be carried over to the next academic year. This change aims to enhance the benefits available to teachers and acknowledges the importance of their well-being and work-life balance.
