Please note: The reader must consult both the DPI Benefits and Employee Manual and the Board Supplement for complete information regarding Board approved leave policies.

It is the policy of the Wake County Board of Education to comply with the benefits and employment policies promulgated by the State Board of Education in the most current edition of the Public Schools of North Carolina Benefits and Employment Policy Manual, as supplemented by local board policy.  In referring to both the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) Benefits and Employment Manual and the supplemental local board leave policies, the reader will find that the DPI numbering scheme has been retained throughout for ease in locating a particular policy.  

To access both the DPI Benefits and Employment Manual and the local supplement on-line, the reader will need to access each section separately.  A direct link is provided to each section on-line in the Table of Contents for Board Policies.  To access the DPI Benefits and Employment Manual directly, the web address is http://www.ncpublicschools.org/benemanual/.

Recognizing that the State Board updates and revises its policies from time to time, it is the intent of the Wake County Board of Education to include as a part of its policy all such future modifications by the State Board and the Department of Public Instruction.  Accordingly, when the reader is referring to a printed manual, the reader is advised to confirm that the copy in the manual tracks the current on-line version. 

In the event that changes to State or federal law or regulation conflict with current State Board or local board policies, the Wake County Board of Education intends that its benefits and employment policies shall be modified to the extent necessary to comply with current law until such time as conforming changes to State Board and/or local board policies are made.
