Regular attendance is essential in providing District students with a high quality of instruction. Eligible certificated staff will have available 11 days of sick leave per school year cumulative to 110 days. Eligible support employees have available 7 days of sick leave per year cumulative to 110 days.

Support staff will be eligible for additional sick leave days based on years of employment in the district. At 10 years support staff sick leave will increase to 9 days per year and at 15 years of employment with the district sick leave will accumulate to 11 days.

When employees are absent more than 15 days in any semester or more than 35 days per school year, their absence is considered excessive. The Superintendent/designee will review each incident of excessive absence and may require the employee to provide medical documentation or may consider disciplinary actions up to and including termination.
