Dear Members of the Mahnomen Public School Board and Superintendent Dr. Andrea Simon,
I hope you are doing well. I am writing to formally request unpaid leave for the week of January 11-15, 2026. My husband has a scheduled business trip to Phoenix, Arizona during that time, and I will be accompanying him. This leave will not result in any additional cost for substitutes, and all home visits and related duties can be covered by my coworkers during my absence. Additionally, I will be able to keep up with attendance responsibilities and other work remotely through my laptop, ensuring that no disruptions occur in daily reporting. I will make sure all responsibilities are up to date prior to my leave and will prepare anything needed to support a smooth workflow while I am gone. If there are any forms or additional steps required to process this request, please let me know and I will complete them promptly. Thank you for your consideration. I appreciate your time, support, and understanding. Sincerely, Jessica M. Goodwin
