Professional Leave
Professional leave provides the opportunity for a
teacher to represent the school system by attending meetings,
chaperoning students for state-wide music events, workshops, and
conferences of an educational and/or professional nature.
These days can be applied for through the local school or the county
level supervisor, using the Absence Report Form. This form must be
submitted at least 1 week prior to the event to receive leave. Notify
the music office if the leave is no longer needed after having been
approved.
This leave provides substitute teachers for the absent teacher. It is
important for teachers to understand the different types of leave. It
is imperative that teachers use the appropriate leave for each
absence.
Critical Days
Critical days are those days during the school year
which have been identified as especially crucial times for teachers to
be in attendance. Except in cases of extreme emergency, teachers may
not use personal leave on a critical day. Days designated as critical
days may vary among levels (i.e. elementary, middle, and high).
Consult the school district staff use calendar or your principal for
information on the current school year critical days.
