1. If the need for leave is foreseeable, the employee must provide reasonable<br />

advance notice to the principal. If the leave is needed for a planned<br />

medical treatment, the employee must make a reasonable<br />

effort to schedule the treatment after school to avoid disruption to school<br />

operations.<br />

states:<br />

* Date of commencement of the serious health condition<br />

* Probable duration of the condition<br />

* Confirmation that the serious health condition warrants the<br />

participation of a family member<br />
