What other leaves are available?

All employees are granted 5 personal leave days a year by state law. Most districts add to these days. State law provides that two of these days can be used for taking care of family members. Most districts also provide leave for short-term military assignments, religious observances, compliance with a subpoena, personal business, funerals, jury duty, professional reasons, and study. These leaves differ in most districts. Most districts give the superintendent the authority to grant paid and unpaid leaves in certain cases. For more information regarding leaves, please see Board Policy DEC or call the UEA office.
