Sick
Leave (personal or family) See Article 9 of the contract for a
list of what falls under sick leave. |
Call 828-4927
by 6:30 AM and leave a message on the tape, or see the
receptionist the day before.
If feasible, you may use
the Fax Machine (829-0178) for lesson plans. |
Obviously, if a medical
emergency develops after 6:30 AM call ASAP. We may have
difficulty finding a qualified substitute, but we’ll do the best
we can. |
|
Conference Leave, including coverage for field trips, district
meetings, release time for curriculum development, etc. |
Method 1) If you will
have reimbursable expenses, completes a Travel and Conference Form
and turn in to the Principal. There is a line for date(s)
substitute is required. If approved, the Principal will give the
form to the receptionist so she can obtain a sub. Multiple persons
going on the same trip must submit their own individual form.
Method 2) If the leave
involves no reimbursable expenses such as release time at school,
attending a district task force meeting, etc. Please give the
Principal a typed or handwritten note indicating the purpose of
the leave with explicit times when substitutes are needed.
Multiple names can be grouped together. If approved, the
Principal will give the information to the Receptionist so she can
obtain subs.
Method 3) If the
District Office or an outside group will be paying for the
substitute, make a written request to the Principal and attach a
copy of a letter or other written confirmation of sponsorship so
we can bill the appropriate group. Note: having a willing sponsor
does not guarantee approval. Approval is still subject to
availability of substitutes, total number of days of absence, and
other information. If approved, the Principal will give the
information to the receptionist so she can obtain a sub.
|
In August, we go through
a process to reserve funding for substitutes for travel and
conference leave, as well as field trip leave. This does
not constitute approval. A decision on approval will be
made at the time the Travel and Conference Form is submitted, and
is subject to availability for which funds were set aside, and the
total number of teachers already approved for the are requested
date(s). Substitutes will not be arranged until the multi-part
Travel and Conference Form is turned in, and the leave is
approved.
Keep receipts if you
expect to be reimbursed! |
|
Personal Leave |
There is a form available in the office for
Personal Leave Requests. Turn in this form to the Principal.
Leave prior to or after vacation periods (Thanksgiving, Christmas,
and Spring Break) require special approval as “Dock Days” by the
Central Office. These are approved on a first come-first served
basis. The Principal will notify the receptionist so she can
obtain a substitute.
Car or weather problems are charged to
personal leave. In these emergency situations, call 828-4927 ASAP
and fill out the personal leave form when you arrive. |
Personal leave might not be approved if it
causes more than 10% of the faculty to be out on a given day. As
a result, persons who make non-refundable deposits without getting
prior approval, do so at their own risk. This is particularly
true around vacation periods, holidays, and Fridays and Mondays in
the Spring. |
|
Other forms of leave,
including jury leave and family leave |

soon as possible. |
For family leave, also contact personnel as
soon as possible. |
