ARTICLE X: Leaves of Absences

Post any information related to leave time (sick, personal, professional, discretionary, bereavement, work comp, etc.) on this page.

Olathe gives 13 days of temprary leave each year. Teachers who have been in the district 1-10 years may use 2 days of their temporary leave as personal. 10-15 years may use 3 days as personal leave and 15+ years get 4 days of personal leave per year. Blue Valley gives 11 days/year for temporary leave. 1-3 years of service gets 2 personal days 3+ years get 4 personal days. Shawnee Mission gives 10 days of temporary leave per year. 2 days can be used for personal leave. Gardner-Edgerton gives 10 sick days/upt to 4 can be used as personal leave. No more than 90 days per contract year can be used.
 * Article X #1 Discretionary days:**

Olathe allows up to 5 days of bereavement leave with no deduction from short term leave for immediate family members within household. Including spouse, parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, children and grandchildren of the employee or the employee's spouse. Written request goes through HR. Shawnee Mission allows up to 3 days of bereavement leave with no deduction from sick leave for spouse, parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, children, grandchildren, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews of the employee or their spouse. Bue Valley deducts from temporary leave (sick leave). Gardner-Edgerton is unclear on amount of time allowed but whatever it is, days are deducted from temporary leave.
 * 2 Bereavement Leave:**

Didn't see workmen's comp addressed very clearly in any district's contract. Shawnee Mission did address it but it was confusing to me. Paragraph A mentioned "temporarily absent" comes out of sick leave and is somehow tied to some compensation package. Paragraph B was "if absent" not out of sick leave. I am wondering if "temporary absent" vs. "absent" is appointments/unable to work due to injury.
 * Article X #4**

Gardner-Edgerton is the only district that I could find information regarding partial absences such as leaving during plan, coming in late or leaving early. If before students/or after classes no dock. If less than one hour, no instructional time missed then it is at principal's discretion. Hour or less, with instructional time covered, get principal's permission - no dock.
 * Article X #3**

One of the districts had a statement that depending on the amount of time of leave, employee may not move on the salary schedule. We would want to watch that closely.
