Full time employees are paid for the following holidays:

New Year’s Day
Martin Luther King’s Birthday
President’s Day
Memorial Day
Juneteenth**
Independence Day**
Labor Day
Columbus Day
Thanksgiving Day
Christmas Day

**12 month employees only; 10 & 11 month employees only receive this holiday pay if/when school programs are in session and the employee is in approved pay status the day before and after the holiday.

In addition to the above holidays, you are eligible for either eight or nine paid leave days annually per year. (These days are the Friday after Thanksgiving, and time at the winter break.) The actual number of days is determined annually and the dates are announced through the school calendar. Eligibility for these additional days during your first year of employment is accrued at the rate of one day per month for each of the first nine months of work. These paid leave days may be advanced to you if you have not accrued them by the time they are scheduled to be used. Any advanced leave days that have not been earned by the time you leave employment with the school will be repaid from your final paycheck.
