Donate to the Catastrophic Leave Bank

Please consider donating to the NUSD Catastrophic Leave Bank. If a teacher is leaving they can give their days.
(1) If a teacher leaves the teaching profession, he/she can leave the sick days to the Catastrophic Leave Bank. Just notify the Human Resource Dept.
(2) If a teacher transfers to another school district, he/she can take the sick days with him/her.

STRS implications -- an unused sick day can apply to extra service time. For example, if a teacher has 24.8 years and wants to have 25 years applied to their retirement benefits they can use sick days to make up the difference. One day = 65 cents per month. So if you have 10 sick days you have $6.50 per month applied to your STRS benefit for the rest of your life.

If you are planning to retire call CalSTRS 707-524-2627 or www.calstrs.com
