Leaves
We understand that employees need to take extended periods of time off for medical reasons. That's why CISD offers different leaves of absence to help employees deal with situations which require extended periods of time off from work. Eligible employees can apply for leave benefits if they need to take more than three days off for one of the following reason:
- Medical
- The birth, adoption or placement of a child
- Temporary Disability Leave
- Military (other than reserves)
Step 1: Email your medical leave request to the HR leaves specialist, marissa.titlow@communityisd.org, 30 days in advance, if the leave is foreseeable. If the leave is unforeseeable please email us "as soon as practicable" with your leave request.
