Leave for School and Child Care Activities a. Pursuant to California Labor Code section 230.8, if an employee is a parent, guardian, step-parent, xxxxxx parent, or grandparent of, or a person who stands in loco parentis to, a child enrolled in a California public or private school, kindergarten through grade twelve (12), or in a licensed child day care facility, the employee may take up to forty (40) hours each calendar year (at a maximum of 8 hours a month) to attend school conferences and events. Any activity that is sponsored, supervised, or approved by the school, school board, or child care facility is acceptable. Examples include participating in parent-teacher conferences, Open House, or a child’s school-related disciplinary issue.
b. A qualifying employee may use up to ten (10) hours of Healthcare Leave in accordance with Article IV, Section 1.B.4 per fiscal year, to attend such events. If an employee chooses not to use all 10 hours of Healthcare Leave for this leave, the employee is required to use Annual Leave, Vacation, Compensatory, and PIP balances in that order for the Leave for School and Childcare Activities. If an employee has exhausted leave balances, an employee may elect to take the leave unpaid.
