(The Center Square) – With lawmakers headed back to Springfield Tuesday, one measure in the House could take up would allow a new parent employed at a school to take parental leave days anytime, not necessarily immediately after birth.
State Rep. Mary Flowers, D-Chicago, said her House Bill 75 is in response to a teacher from Illinois who last year the Illinois Supreme Court rejected a lawsuit seeking to use leave during the school year, instead of losing the opportunity for having a child just before summer break.
“She wanted to take her maternity leave later and so there was some discrepancy as to whether or not she was entitled to do it and she lost $8,000 because she took unpaid family leave,” Flowers said. “She had to pay for it on her own.”

If it becomes law, Iowa would allow parents or caregivers to submit written requests before Aug. 15 to hold children from advancing during the 2021-22 school year, if they feel their children did not progress enough academically during the current school year.
