Everman Independent School District

Leave and Absences

Everman ISD provides employees with a range of leave of absence options for situations involving personal or medical leave. To request any leave of absence, employees are required to follow district procedures and complete the relevant leave request form.

If an employee is absent for more than five consecutive workdays due to personal or family illness, they must submit a medical certification from a qualified healthcare provider. In cases of extended personal illness, employees must present a fitness-for-duty certification upon their return to work.

It's important to note that if an employee is on protective leave, such as Family Medical Leave (FMLA) and/or Temporary Disability Leave (TDL), they should refrain from performing any job-related duties. Communication during this period should be limited to passing on institutional knowledge or providing closure on completed assignments. Teachers are not obligated to prepare lesson plans further in advance than if they were not on leave, and this includes responding to work-related emails and attending work-related events (e.g., field day, staff development, staff meetings, open house events, etc.).  For additional information on Leaves and Absences please review Board Policy and the Employee Handbook.
