Leave for Death in Family. 1. Each employee in the Ridgedale School District shall be eligible for sick leave on the following basis: a. If the funeral involves members of the immediate family (specifically limited to spouse, sons, daughters, grandchildren, grandparents, parent, brother, sister, in-laws, or step-family of the same title, or other persons living in the same household), the employee may use sick leave during the period beginning the day of death and ending with the day after funeral; maximum five school/workdays; or b. If the funeral involves other blood relatives (aunt, uncle, first cousin), one sick leave day may be used to attend the funeral. Up to three days will be considered if transportation to the funeral includes lengthy travel. c. Other funeral release needs can be served through the use of personal days, deduct days, or, in the case of twelve (12) month employees, vacation days. 2. The policy also notes that these are guidelines only. Individual concerns can be discussed with the Superintendent. The policy also notes that approval for sick leave for a funeral is to be secured from the Superintendent or designee if the Superintendent is not available, prior to the absence. If the Superintendent is not available, the designee is the building principal.
