Sec. 10-51b. Reserve fund for employee sick leave and severance benefits. A
regional board of education, by a majority vote of its members, may create a reserve
fund for accrued liabilities for employee sick leave and severance benefits. Such fund
shall thereafter be termed "reserve fund for employee sick leave and severance benefits".
The aggregate amount of annual and supplemental appropriations by a district to such
fund in any one fiscal year shall not exceed the actuarially recommended contribution
from the annual district budget for such fiscal year. No payments shall be made to the
fund which will cause the amount of such fund to exceed the accrued liability for such
employee benefits as determined by the district's annual financial statements, except
for the addition of interest and investment earnings with respect to amounts held in the
fund. Annual appropriations to such fund shall be included in the share of net expenses
to be paid by each member town. Supplemental appropriations to such fund may be
made from estimated fiscal year end surplus in operating funds. Interest and investment
earnings received with respect to amounts held in the fund shall be credited to such
fund. The board shall annually submit a complete and detailed report of the condition
of such fund to the member towns. Upon the approval of the board, by a majority vote
of its members, any part or the whole of such fund may be used for the payment of
employee sick leave and severance benefits without further appropriation. Such fund
may be discontinued, after recommendation by the board and approval by the board,
and any amounts held in the fund shall be transferred to the general fund of the district.
