Catastrophic Sick Leave Bank

Northwest ISD staff members can now opt into the district’s Catastrophic Sick Leave Bank, during annual open enrollment periods.

The CSLB allows employees who take part to apply for up to 30 days of sick leave – after other leave has been taken – following a catastrophic event. To take part, an employee must donate one sick day. Collectively, these employee sick day donations fill the bank for its implementation.

Employees can opt into the CSLB through this form or by visiting portal.nisdtx.org, clicking on “NISD Forms” and selecting “Catastrophic Leave.”
