Best Answer

Most teachers in the U.S. have no paid maternity leave, unless their union negotiated the benefit.

In five states: CA, HI, NJ, NY, and RI there is state mandated short term disability insurance that will pay a maternity leave benefit, but it typically covers only employees in private industry. As most teachers are part of the public school system, they are considered government employees, and exempt from the mandate. Some school systems can choose to offer the state plan even though they are not required to do so.

In the 45 states that do not have mandated coverage, teachers can still get maternity leave income by purchasing individual short term disability insurance prior to conception.
