Public Comment – Peter Duley came to speak regarding sick leave policy and share why he felt the current policy should be reversed and provided examples of other neighboring districts. Robbie Adams also spoke and discussed how sick days are important and count toward their retirement. Carol Warfield spoke stating why she
felt this benefit was important in her decision to taking a lower paying job than she could get elsewhere. Sick days were a “bonus” she can put toward retirement.
