Any employee who is absent for more than five consecutive days must complete an
extended medical leave application unless the absence is an approved leave of some other
type. The extended medical leave application should be completed with as much advance
notice as possible.

An employee who has been employed by the District for more than three (3) years who is
unable to work because of a personal illness, or the illness of an immediate family member,
and who has exhausted all available sick leave may be granted leave for the duration of the
illness or disability, up to one year, without pay. Any request for this leave must state the
probable date of return and be accompanied by a verifying physician’s statement. Before
returning, such employee must submit a physician’s release to return to work after
personal illness.
