Personal Days:  All full-time teachers are entitled to two personal days. Whenever possible, no more than two teachers at any one school may take personal days on the same day.  Local administration may exclude some days from use as personal days.

The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA):  Any staff or faculty member may take an extended unpaid medical leave for the person’s own health condition, the need to care for immediate family because of a serious health condition, the birth of a child to the person or the person’s spouse, or the placement of a child with the person for adoption or foster care.

Funeral Leave:  A leave of absence of up to three (3) school days without diminution of pay shall be provided to each teacher in the event of a death in his or her immediate family. The "immediate family" is defined as the spouse, children, parents, step-parents, brother, sister, mother-in-law, or father-in-law of the teacher. Such leave of absence will begin with the day of death and end with the day following the funeral. A one day leave shall be given for the purpose of attending the funeral of brother-in-law, sister-in-law, and grandparents. Decisions for exceptions necessitating leaves for deaths of other relatives or variance in interpretation of "immediate family" are made by the President at local school with possible consultation with the Catholic Education Center. Funeral leave is not to be considered a part of any allowable sick leave or other leave provided in this contract.

Medical Leave:  This leave is for scheduled medical issues.
