during the middle of the summer that you know where the question is as you propose but yes she would have been able to use the sick leave starting a hot the first work day after the data just isn't only should not be limited that if she gave birth in the middle of december and you have an intervening two week period when her that her he should be subsequently produced what if a teacher mrs or takes one day for the flu i'm a less day of school and that the teacher take two more days for that on this at the start of the next school year absolutely only applies to the day in which the children of god is to be entered by them or you know i think you'd be allowed to use adoption but i think there there in the employees is the one who's requesting the leave so they're going to choose with them when the days with immediate modifier uses days without any modification so that you have to infer what the reference to days from needs based on the specific reference section twenty four six uses that get the word days six separate times there is no way absent from work and using paid sick leave per thirty eight period before they're just going to require medical certification and to the point you brought about days i think you have to focus on the language that's in the legislature and use and at home my interpretation is that the period of leave provided for is it is a right to be absent from work using paid sick leave for thirty days and it's not otherwise restricted and so there if your birth is over the summer the pregnancy and childbirth and they refer to quote unquote normal pregnancy and childbirth meaning no complications and the question was whether that qualifies as a personal illness the court said in analyzing the statute and that  statutory language he also looked at other provisions of the school code very big changes made to the school code after federal pregnancy discrimination legislation was passed and what they did is they look at english again protections for against discharge and protections for seniority that use the terms physical and temporary in the past and the court explicitly found that those phrases in compass the period post childbirth the postpartum period of six of six weeks that the district is saying is covered by section twenty four s it's those words that they said to refer the bacteria now in the legislature amended to twenty four six in two thousand and seven he did not use the terms temporary or physical capacity he used for birth and then we were to presume where in the n grateful to the general assembly for recognizing that they they tied them together so it's for that period of adjustment between the new parent and their child in the home and should they be separating though the purpose that it would you just acknowledged the purpose and the intent is to accommodate the period of adjustment for  from the first aid of the last day plus third so now you have a situation where the statute is interpreted by you that you supposedly depending on the fortuity of when you supposedly took or this  about extending paychecks throughout the summer even teachers in this situation isn't this diana or a movie in a better position than they otherwise would have been and that's because teachers are while they work one hundred eighty days for about nine to ten poor for those who don't work other jobs but in this case mistimed was in charge of sick so by having the baby in early june she was allowed to stay at home mom with the period and that's the six weeks immediately following the giving them birth where a woman's body is undergoing adjustments following the pregnancy and the fall of the district's position is that there is a reasonable medical basis for why the legislature approved a statute the way it did the thirty days or six weeks when there's nothing in the legislative history that would support mr di for m and the department of labor's going to implement certain rules should this bill become all and we don't have it here we don't we don't have administrative radiations on how to implement this little any guidance from the only state board of education it was  leave that's why they've given you the right for you know if they don't use the phrase balking but clearly it's contemplating the right to be here with your family after the girth or in the case of adoption of the generals and we chose to provide that right to both the  and i would and i would give the i don't think the purpose changes the fact that she's entitled to the thirty days of paid sick leave but she would not otherwise be working during that period of adjustment so why should she be paid for period that she's not going to be working them draft the statute in a manner that says you can use our money games of sick leave it all to the thirty day period you could easily modify two or three words in the statute to provide for the limits on the district's claiming the legislature simply did not practice statute in that matter if surely know whether or not the school district is impractical with the interpretation of this and i think the interpretation is clear if you get to be absent from work and using paid sick leave for thirty days for the event to occur regardless of
