[SchoolFinance] EPL Questions

[Daniel Picard]

We frontload 40 hours on July 1. Our Bus drivers and ed techs get paid out
"vacation days" at the end of school.

• The law that went into effect in September of 2025
<https://legislature.maine.gov/bills/getPDF.asp?paper=HP0019&item=3&snum=132>
is that saying any unused balances carry over to the next year? (Meaning
balances can exceed 40 hours). OR is it saying, unused balances carryover
up to 40 hours but if EPL is used employees can keep earning more hours for
that year until they have earned their 40 hours. (Time rolls over and
employees can use more than 40 but their current balance will never be
higher than 40).

• Does the vacation days we pay out to our EdTechs and Bus Drivers also
pull from EPL?

Thank you for your input!
Daniel
