10-month and 12-month employees are granted sick leave days at the beginning of each school year. Ten-month employees receive 10 days per school year. Twelve-month employees receive 12 days per school year. For partial years of employment, this allocation is prorated.
New employees may transfer sick leave accumulated in another school division in Virginia or in an agency of the state government. Sick leave may be used for personal illness, illness in the immediate family, or bereavement leave for death in the immediate family.
