Regular attendance is essential in providing District students with a high quality of instruction. Eligible certificated staff will have available 10 days of sick leave per school year cumulative to 70 days. Eligible support employees have available 10 days of sick leave per year cumulative to 70 days.

When employees are absent more than 10 days in any semester or more than 20 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.
