9.7 School Conference and Activities Leave <br />Leave of 16 Hours: Under Minnesota Statute §181.9412, an Employer must grant an <br />Employee leave of up to a total of sixteen (16) hours during any twelve (12) month period <br />to attend school conferences or school -related activities related to the Employee's child, <br />provided the conferences or school -related activities cannot be scheduled during non - <br />work hours. If the Employee's child receives childcare services or attends a pre- <br />kindergarten regular or special education program, the Employee may use the leave time <br />provided in this section to attend a conference or activity related to the Employee's child, <br />or to observe and monitor the services or programs, provided the conference, activity, or <br />observation cannot be scheduled during non -work hours. When the leave cannot be <br />scheduled during non -work hours and the need for the leave is foreseeable, the <br />Employee must provide reasonable prior notice of the leave and make a reasonable effort <br />to schedule the leave so as not to disrupt unduly the operations of the Employer. <br />Foster Child: For the purpose of this section, the definition of "child" includes foster <br />child. <br />Unpaid or Use of PTO/ESST: The school conference and activities leave will be unpaid, <br />except that an Employee may substitute any accrued paid PTO/ESST leave or <br />compensatory time for any part of the leave under this section. <br />Page 24 of 60 <br />
