Description
This case concerns the authority of school districts to implement and enforce policies involving employees statutory personal leave. See Tex. Educ. Code Ann. 22.003(a) (West 2004). Appellant Donna Amaral-Whittenberg argues that various personal leave policies of Castleberry Independent School District (the District) violate the education codes directive that a school district board of trustees may not restrict the purposes for which leave may be used. See id. The district court affirmed the decision of the Commissioner of Education (the Commissioner) that the Districts policies do not violate the education code. On appeal, Amaral-Whittenberg argues in five issues that the district court erred. We affirm the judgment of the district court.
