All educational support personnel members who present evidence of retirement from active service with the School Board shall be granted severance pay for their accrued but unused sick leave days.

The Board authorizes the payment of a retiring educational support personnel member of his/her unused sick leave days under the conditions established in the Superintendent's administrative guidelines.

For purposes of this policy, "retirement" means retirement under the Public Employees Retirement Fund (P.E.R.F.) and does not include disability retirement.
