each place is different
By n2n2n2n

Contracts differ from place to place, contract to contract.
Your best bet would be to contact your union and ask for their guidance.
Previous posters have explained how things would work in their districts. That
is totally different than how things work where I teach. For example, I do not get any personal days. I do however get 20 sick days a year that may be used for very specific purposes. Unlike others I do have to explain if it is for a doctor's appointment, home sick, etc. A job interview would not qualify for using a sick day --- where I work. I would have to apply for a day without

pay.
I cite this example only to illustrate how important it is for you to get answers from your own union / district.

Also talk to your admin and the interviewing admin. Often they will work together to make it possible for you to get a permanent job. Someone might be able to cover your class so you can leave early for a job interview etc.

Good luck! :)
