LUSD wishes to offer you our sincerest congratulations on the new addition to your family! To support you during this endeavor, this section is provided to confirm the steps required to facilitate your leave of absence relating to the birth of your child or the adoption or foster of a child. We advise all expectant parents (mothers, father, biological, or adoptive) to schedule a meeting with Human Resources to get a clear understanding of your leave options and to adequately prepare for your absence.

The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the California Family Rights Act (CFRA) provide eligible employees with up to 12 workweeks of protected, unpaid time off for the birth, adoption, or foster care placement of a child of the employee.  FMLA and CFRA absences may run concurrently.
