(a) A contract or regular employee may, at the employee's election, use any days of absence for illness or injury earned pursuant to Section 88191 in cases of personal necessity, including any of the following:
(1) Death of a member of the employee's immediate family when additional leave is required beyond that provided both in Section 88194 and as a right by the governing board.
(2) Accident involving the person or property of the employee or of a member of his or her immediate family.
(3) Appearance in any court or before any administrative tribunal as a litigant, party, or witness under subpoena or any order made with jurisdiction.
(4) Any other reasons that the governing board may prescribe.

(c) Authorized necessity leave shall be deducted from sick leave earned under the exemption of Section 88191.
(d) For purposes of this section, "immediate family" has the same meaning as in Section 88194.
