Leaves and Absences
Leaves and Absences
All full-time CISD employees and bus drivers/assistants receive 5 local sick days and 5 state-issued personal days each year (starting July 1 and ending June 30). Unused sick and personal days roll over to the next year. Personal days are issued by the State of Texas and can be transferred to other school districts.
To check personal leave balances, login to the Comal ISD’s Skyward Employee Portal Access site.
