This leave must begin within thirty (30) calendar days of death of the immediate family member. For purposes of this section only, immediate family is defined as (including in-law and step relationships) parent, spouse, fiancé, fiancée, domestic partner, aunt, uncle, first cousin, child, brother, sister, grandchild, grandparent, guardian, xxxx, and dependents living in the household. In the event of the death of a colleague or student, the employee may use up to eight (8) hours of accrued sick leave to attend a funeral or memorial service. The employee may claim on the employee’s timesheet up to four (4) hours of this leave from the sick leave bank. Exceptions to the provisions contained in this section may be granted upon submission of the request to the Superintendent. Upon request by the District the employee will submit proof that the leave was used for the approved purpose. For the purposes of this section, acceptable proof includes but is not limited to an obituary, a funeral program, a prayer card, or verifiable details including date of death, city of death, and relationship to the deceased.

Use of Sick Leave for Bereavement. The parties recognize the importance of having sufficient staff available to operate schools on scheduled school days. Although the parties agree that it is important to pay respects to friends and colleagues who have passed, they also understand that a large number of staff absences can impede the schools from operating. Accordingly, on up to one day each school year, a teacher may use one day of sick leave for the purpose of attending a funeral of a person outside the coverage of the sick leave provisions above in Section 14.01(e), subject to the discretion of the building principal as set forth below. The teacher may do so by providing notice via FormShare and sending the principal an additional email (with the information to be included in the email enforced uniformly across the district). The teacher shall notify the building principal at least two days prior to the day of the leave or, if two days’ notice is not possible, at the earliest time possible. The superintendent may limit the use of such leave, if the leave would impede the school’s ability to operate effectively. If a teacher declines to use this one day of sick leave for attending a funeral in any particular school year, that day shall “roll over” to the following year in the form of one day of sick leave, not in the form of one day of bereavement leave. Thus, each year, a teacher will have only one day of sick leave to use for attending a funeral for a person outside the coverage of the sick leave provisions above in Section 14.01(e), regardless of whether the teacher did so in the prior year.
