The Caldwell School District Board of Trustees directs the Superintendent/Designee to establish a Classified Sick Leave Bank (CSLB) to help alleviate hardship caused by employees’ absence from work necessitated by the occurrence of catastrophic or life-threatening illnesses or accidents and mental illnesses requiring hospitalization. The CSLB shall not cover short-term disabilities or injuries.

Eligible classified employees may enroll in the CSLB during the open enrollment period designated by the District.
Enrollment shall remain active during the time an individual is continuously employed by the District and there shall be no need to re-join during that time.
Contributed Sick Leave Days:
- Sick leave days contributed to the CSLB shall be deducted from the individual’s sick leave entitlement.
