NEW SICK LEAVE
 PROGRAM URGED
Board May Act on Teach CTS Proposal This
 Evening

Action on a proposed for 6 new Sick leave program for teachers is expected to be taken by the Board of Education at its meeting tonight at Crosby high school. The Water bury Teachers association requested the board several weeks ago to re wise the rules so that teachers who do not use a sick leave during any one year may accumulate the time and use 1t in the event of a seri- ous illness later.
 The accumulation would extend only for period of three years, &C., eording to the proposal, with the maximum sick-leave possible set at 70 days.
 It is believed some discussion may also be conducted tonight on a pro- posal for establishing a health cen- ter at Begnal school, and closing the open air school now at the Croft school building. It has been reported an extensive investigation has been conducted by medical auth critics of the city and the plan will be placed before the board shortly.
