Relating to personal leave for wellness provided for school district employees.
SB 2169 requires Texas public school districts to provide school employees with at least two paid "wellness days" per year for personal health needs, directly affecting all school district staff. The bill prohibits accumulating these days or deducting them from existing personal leave, and mandates school districts to create clear policies for using the leave without requiring employees to submit documentation. It takes effect for the 2025-2026 school year, unless passed with a two-thirds vote for immediate implementation. This policy change specifically expands employee leave benefits without altering existing leave structures.
