handle is hein.sag/sagwa0103 and id is 1 raw text is: - .Attorney General of Washington SCHOOLS--DISTRICTS--EMPLOYERS AND EMPLOYEES--TEACHERS--SICK LEAVE--FAMILY LEAVE--Ability of a School District Board of Directors to Grant Family Leave 1. RCW 28A.400.300 requires school districts to grant employees a minimum of 10 days per year of leave for illness, injury, and emergencies. The maximum leave that can be accrued for this purpose is 12 days per year. Within this minimum and maximum a school district board of directors can define how such leave is to be used. If the board defines leave for illness, injury, and emergencies so that it only applies to the employee's illness, injury, and emergencies, then the board has the authority to authorize employee leave beyond the 12-day limit to care for sick family members. 2. RCW 49.12.270 requires employers to permit employees to use sick leave to care for their sick children. RCW 49.12.270 does not limit the ability of a school district board of directors to allow family leave to care for sick family members beyond the 12-day limit for leave for illness, injury, and emergencies.
