Full time employees of the DeKalb County School District will be allowed up to three paid bereavement days per school year for their absence due to the death of an immediate family member under a policy change by the Board of Education.

The school board voted to make the change on second and reading during Thursday night’s regular monthly meeting effective with the 2022-23 school year.

The current policy provides for one paid bereavement day.
