Policy 4321 – Family and Medical Leave

The Board of Education recognizes that leaves of absence are occasionally necessary due to
family or medical reasons or in certain circumstances associated with servicemembers’ service in
the Armed Forces. The District has adopted detailed procedures to ensure compliance with the
Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA). As provided by District regulations, eligible
employees are entitled to use up to twelve (12) workweeks of unpaid leave for family and
medical reasons (up to 26 workweeks for covered events related to those serving in the Armed
Forces). The Board of Education has designated a District administrator to act as FMLA
Compliance Officer. As part of its compliance program, the District will notify each employee
of the name, address and telephone number of the District’s FMLA Compliance Officer and will
provide a statement of commitment to adhere to FMLA regulations. The FMLA Compliance
Officer will regularly evaluate the District’s FMLA compliance to ensure fair and equitable
opportunities for all eligible employees.
