For example:

    15 or more years of full time service $3000 and $25/day unused sick leave

Calendar Recommendation (For Information Only)  We are presenting the academic calendar recommendation for consideration.  This option requires 172 student days at 1140.4 hours (reminder we need to be at 1080 hours or 180 days).  It reduces the teacher contract days to 190 from 192 (This would need to be discussed and agreed upon during negotiations as it changes the teacher contract.  Depending on the outcome of those meetings, the calendar may need to be amended through Board action.)  It includes a two week break at Christmas and a spring break week.  Students start the Aug 23 and end the Friday before Memorial Day.
