Support personnel will be allowed to take a maximum of four (4) days family illness leave per school year. Family shall be defined as spouse, child, father, mother, sister, or brother.
Requests for family illness leave shall be made to the superintendent or the superintendent’s designee. The superintendent has the discretion to grant additional family illness leave. In making this determination, the superintendent shall consider the financial position of the school district, the effect of the support employee’s absence on the educational program and the operations of the school district, and other factors the principal deems relevant.
Support personnel who wish additional family illness leave may be required to pay the costs of substitute personnel when necessary to carry out their duties.
