Athens Board Adopts Maternity Leave Policy Change
At a Monday meeting the Athens City Board of Education approved four policy revisions including a major maternity leave change. The new policy allows a pregnant teacher to remain on the job beyond six months with doctor approval, requires a return time and leave request, provides for unpaid leave, and aligns with legal minimums. The board also raised accumulated sick leave from 165 to 180 days and shifted CAPSE negotiations from spring to fall. Morrison Elementary faces potential Title I funding issues next year.
