[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And no, there is no limit to the number of days you can accumulate. There is no cash value for teachers if you have leave remaining when you leave FCPS; however, if you retire with leave it is added to your years/months of service upon retirement.[/quote]

Only if you are in Legacy plan. For most teachers now, leave is lost once you leave. IMO, they should reinstate paying for leave not used at retirement. You will absolutely have less absences if there is an incentive.[/quote]

First it’s fewer absences, not less. Second, people take leave when they need to take leave. They’re not thinking of retirement. I am in the Legacy plan and that has never entered my mind or impacted my decision to take leave or not. [/quote]

I do think newer teachers use up their leave at a greater rate with the mindset of, “Why shouldn’t I? There’s no reason to save it”. I hear it quite often. Someone said it at a STAC meeting I attended a few years ago.  I can’t say I blame them.[/quote]
