The State Personal Leave Policy authorizes teachers to earn personal leave at the rate of one (1) day for each half year employed. There shall be a maximum of two (2) days in advance of actually earning the leave, but should the teacher leave service prior to the end of the school year, it would be necessary to make an adjustment in the final check. This leave may be requested on a one-half day basis.¹ Any Personal Leave day which is not taken during the current school year automatically converts to sick leave for the following school year.

All certificated employees who annually earn vacation/personal leave days based upon years of service in the Shelby County Schools system shall have up to two (2) of these unused vacation/personal leave days converted to their accumulated sick leave.
