If you are a part-time employee, if you are hired later in the school year, or if you leave the district before the end of the school year, local leave days are pro-rated according to the number of days you work. 

Things to know:

• Local leave can be used for absences due to illness, or for any other reason, just like State Personal Leave.
• Local leave accumulates from year to year if you don't use all of your days.
• If you leave the district, your Local Leave remains on record and is yours to use if you later return to work for DSISD.
• Currently, it is district policy to pay retiring employees for unused Local Leave days upon retirement from the district. The current rate is $50/day for exempt employees and $30/day for non-exempt employees.
