Teacher Personal Day Request Form

Required

Important - Please Read!

Please do not use this application to request time off from work for the following reasons:

  • Professional development activity
  • Medical appointment for yourself or a family member
  • Bereavement
  • Illness for yourself or a family member
  • Religious observation

This link is for requesting personal time off from work only.

Personal time is generally used for absences to conduct personal business that cannot be completed outside the normal working day.  Examples of personal business include, but are not limited to, personal reasons, court appearances, real estate closings, or a significant family event such as a wedding or commencement ceremony.

If you have questions on your leave balance (sick and/or personal) or what type of leave you can use to cover a specific absence, please contact Elizabeth Bruchu, HR Manager at x4418 or BruchuE@colheights.k12.mn.us.

You should always receive an approval or denial email from HR when you request a personal day. If you don't receive a response from HR within 10 days of your request, please contact Elizabeth Bruchu, HR Manager at x4418 or email BruchuE@colheights.k12.mn.us.
 
Personal days are contingent upon you having the available balance of sick and personal time to use. While your personal leave request may be pre-approved, if the requested day comes and you do not have the sick and personal time available to use for the personal day, the approval becomes null/void. In addition, the district does not grant unpaid days for the purpose of personal leave.
Per the Teacher Master Agreement:
 
All personal leave days must be submitted in advance on the online form to Human Resources for approval. The administration shall not be required to grant such leave on in-service days, or to more than five percent or two people at any school building, whichever is greater on any one day. Nor shall the Board be required to grant such leave between May 15 and the last day of the school year and during the first week of school in the fall; however, the Human Resources Director may authorize exceptions and shall make a decision within ten (10) days of receipt of a leave request, when possible.
 
If your request is approved, it is the teacher's responsibility to request a substitute via Teachers On Call.
