Board asked to adopt revised leave policy replacing 'PML' term with 'ESTA' and expanding family definitions
Summary
Recommended revisions to Policy 1430 update terminology (Paid Medical Leave → Earned Sick Time Act), expand acceptable leave uses, require documentation for leaves longer than three days, and ask staff to check alignment with the collective-bargaining agreement.
District staff presented revisions to Policy 1430 (Leaves of Absence) and recommended the board adopt the updated language. The presenter said the draft "Updates Paid Medical Leave "PML" to Earned Sick Time Act "ESTA"" and expands acceptable leave use to include meetings at a child’s school or place of care; it also adds that employees are not required to find a replacement when taking leave.
The draft expands the definitions of "family member" and "domestic partner" and instructs staff to request intent-to-use notice as early as possible. The policy requires documentation for leaves longer than three days and the presenter specifically "requested Carla/Audrie imput for conflict/alignment with CBA." The transcript records the recommendation to adopt; the transcript does not include motion details, mover/second or vote tallies.
