Bootstrap toggle checkbox doesn't get sent with request

I have a checkbox on my Laravel 5.1 form that I have incorporated the Bootstrap Toggle attributes to. The problem is, when the form is submitted, the checkbox doesn't get sent with the request. I have verified that it is selected (checked = checked). I have another checkbox on the same form that isn't using the Bootstrap Toggle styling and it passes as expected.

Here is the form input:

{!! Form::checkbox('status', '1', $employee->status, array('data-toggle' => 'toggle')) !!}

($employee->status is a boolean)

Here are all of the scripts and css I'm loading in my project:
