This form is to be completed by any Phenix City Schools staff member who wishes to request approved leave during a contracted work time period and/or to request funding for a professional learning opportunity. The form must first be reviewed for initial approval by the direct supervisor before being routed to the Teaching and Learning office for final federal program budgeting approval, if necessary.
Supervisors must approve of any staff member's absence during contracted times before any other approval considerations (i.e. AESOP Detached Duty or Professional Development absences). Building principals must also review the remaining Classroom Instructional Support Funds (CISF) for Professional Learning funding to cover any requests that would be in accordance with the committee-approved and submitted budget.
Athletic and extracurricular activity funding is the responsibility of the team, club, or school of the staff member requesting leave.
District federal programs funding will only be considered for district-sponsored initiatives or requests for learning opportunities to be added as district-sponsored that are approved. Preference will be given to staff that attend summer sessions, as requested by the school/district administration, when applicable. Requests for professional learning opportunities may require follow-up task completion or turn-around training to obtain approval.
