When to Request
An employee who wishes to take a personal leave day before or after a holiday and does not wish to either pay the cost of the long-term substitute (Licensed) or lose 40 percent of a day’s pay (Education Support Professionals), must make the request through the Human Resource Department during the window. If approved, you must give prior notification to your principal or supervisor at least one day in advance of the leave day.
How to Request
During the window, the employee must send the request through email. Please include your name, school, position, and the date you are requesting the leave. Requests left on voicemail or over the phone will NOT be accepted.
- Licensed employees must submit their request to licensedpersonalleave@jordandistrict.org
- ESP employees must submit their request to classifiedpersonalleave@jordandistrict.org
The employee will receive an email confirmation within two working days after submitting the request. If the employee does not receive a confirmation email, then Human Resources has NOT received your request and your leave will not be approved.
