Bereavement Leave

As a caring community, we strive to bring comfort to employees who suffer the loss of a loved one during their time of need. For this reason, the school provides time-off with pay to employees to attend to personal and family arrangements surrounding the death of a family member.

Three paid days will be granted for bereavement of immediate family (i.e., spouse, children, parents, siblings, parent-in-laws or grandparents). One paid day shall be granted to attend a funeral service for other family members. If more time is needed, the school will work with the employee and may grant additional bereavement leave for the death of a spouse or child, with the approval of the HOS.
