contract details to know:

Article 13- Teacher/Unit Member Safety

13.03.02 Assault on Unit Members

A unit member who is the victim of a verbal, written, electronic, or physical threat, assault, or attack shall be, upon request, immediately granted release from duty for the remainder of the day on which the threat, assault, or attack took place. By permitting the unit member the leave described above the District is not conceding the existence of a work-related injury or illness.

Article 5- Leaves

per 5.15- Casual Absence

A supervisor shall have the power to grant a full-time employee permission to be absent, without loss of salary, for parts of a day, not to exceed one-half day, when good reason for such absence exists and provided that frequent requests for such absence are avoided. Such absences may be granted only when the supervisor is certain that the normal assignment for the individual can be adequately covered.

This means we can cover for each other for a period or a part of a day without using EmpCenter or leave time. 

Be sure to clear it with your site administrators. If your administrators don't know about Casual Absences, show them the contract language.
