Title of bill
An act to amend the civil service law, in relation to providing excused leave for public officers or employees of the state for participation in their child's education
Purpose
To authorize public officers and employees of the state to be deemed to have a leave of absence from work for two days per school year to participate in that child's education.
Summary of provisions
Addition of a new section to the Civil Service Law, Section 153. Section 153 shall allow every state officer or employee entitlement to two days absent from their duties at work to participate in their child's education. This entitlement shall be comprised of two days per child, per school year. This leave shall not be charged against any other leave the employee is entitled to.
Justification
Parent's often desire to participate in their children's education and often times are prevented from doing so because of the constrictions of the workplace and their obligations to it. The children and the educational institutions of this state would greatly benefit from the participation of the parents. Parents should be able to participate in their children's educate to as great a degree as their employer will allow.
