Years 10-12    50%

Excess sick leave days may be transferred to another Florida Public School District. Please see the Employment Verifications page for the Request to Transfer Sick Leave form.

Vacation Payouts

This only applies to employees working a 12-month schedule who are eligible for vacation leave.  Accrued time earned in the current year for use in the following year will automatically be paid out following separation once the annual contract has been paid in full.  If you separate employment prior to the end of the fiscal year and have not exhausted your vacation leave, any remaining time for the current school will automatically be paid out.

Insurance Coverage

Any benefits which you have elected through the Nassau County School District will be cancelled and you will be extended offers of COBRA through the respective insurance carriers, or in some instances, through the NCSD.  Some benefit carriers will contact you directly to continue your coverage.

Address Changes & Updates

It is highly important that you maintain a current mailing address with the Nassau County School District.  Employees that are no longer active may contact the Human Resources Department directly at (904) 491-9874 to update their address.  Maintaining a current mailing address will assist in the delivery of your Form W2 for tax purposes, keep insurance carriers up to date and ensure that any follow-up mailings are routed correctly for you.
