Senate panel backs Iowa teacher sick leave bill
A bill to raise public school teachers sick leave in Iowa advanced 8 to 2 in the senate education committee. The measure would let a teacher accumulate 10 days in year one rising to 14 days in year five with local districts free to exceed. Supporters say it boosts Iowa districts in competition with Illinois and others and note Illinois leads in both sick leave and pension plans.
