When completing the Leave of Absence Application, be sure to digitally sign the application and click Submit.  The required medical documentation can be uploaded into the Application before you click Submit or your doctor can fax it to 281-641-1057.  Maternity leave medical documentation can be a note on your doctor’s letterhead that states your name and due date.  Other medical leaves require medical documentation that states the name of the patient and a start date and medical reason for the absences.  Additionally, have your physician complete the district’s medical documentation form:

Once your Application and medical documentation have been received in HR, you will receive written notice of your qualification for FML or Temporary Disability Leave and what may happen with your salary. 

Your pay will continue as long as you have earned sick, personal, vacation, or comp time in your paid leave time banks.  You can use any and all of your earned time during your absences.  Once your paid time has been exhausted, your leave of absence will be unpaid.  If you will have a long period of being unpaid, you will be responsible for paying your insurance premiums directly to the Benefits Department the first week of each month you will not be paid.  Information about your premiums will be included with the written response to your leave request.

• Notify your supervisor or Principal as soon as you know a leave of absence is necessary.

• Complete the Leave of Absence Application

• Send medical documentation either via upload in the Application or by fax or email to HR

• Prepare for the change in pay that may be caused by your absences

• Keep your department/campus and HR updated on changes in your expected leave dates

Leave of absence expiration dates are:

• 90 calendar days = non-certified employees who have been with the district less than 5 consecutive years

• 180 calendar days = certified employees who have been with the district less than 5 years 

• 180 calendar days = non-certified employees who have been with the district for at least 5 consecutive years

FML is unpaid leave that provides protection for your position for up to 12 work weeks or 60 work days.  This type of leave is approved for employees who have worked for the district for at least one full year and worked at least 1,250 hours during that year.  Most part-time employees will not qualify for FML.  Family / Medical Leave may be used for:

• Birth of your child, or placement of a child with you for adoption or foster care;

• A serious health condition that makes you unable to perform the essential duties of your position;

• A serious health condition affecting a family member for whom you must provide care.

FML protects your position for up to 12 work weeks (60 work days) and if you have not been released to return to duty prior to the expiration of FML, your leave would transition to Temporary Disability Leave.

If you qualify for FML, you may qualify for Intermittent FML which is a protection for your position while you are having intermittent absences for one medical condition.  The condition can be for you or for a family member.  Medical documentation must be sent to HR for each absence for it to be protected by FML.  The total amount of FML for one year is 12 work weeks or 60 work days.

Temporary Disability Leave is based on your medical need.  This type of unpaid leave is for employees who do not qualify or have exhausted their yearly allotment of FML.  Temporary Disability Leave can be requested only for your own medical need, and includes pregnancy.  Caring for a family member cannot be considered Temporary Disability Leave.  If approved, you must return to work when released by your doctor. 

Humble ISD will allow individuals who need to fulfill university or Teacher Preparation Programs requirements to observe teachers as they interact with students in the classroom.

Our procedures require these individuals to get approval from the campus where she/he wants to observe. The campus must have documentation that the observations are required by the university or Teacher Preparation Program. The Humble ISD campus administrator will determine if the individual can observe and discuss other guidelines for the observation. If approved, the student must bring their driver’s license the day of the scheduled observation to have a visitor badge issued. All visitors in Humble ISD must wear a badge when visiting on any of our campuses.  The student must check in at the front office upon arrival to and departure from the campus.

Friendly reminders:

• Individuals approved to observe can watch the classroom teacher as she/he works with individual students or groups of students; the teacher will determine the amount of interaction that takes place. For example, assisting students with independent work, reading aloud to a group of students, working with a small group of students with supervision of the certified teacher in the room.

• The observation period is not the time to look for a job; do not contact principals to schedule interviews, etc.

• Avoid disturbing the learning process and/or campus procedures

• Demonstrate professional behavior

• Wear professional attire
