CERTIFICATED PERSONEL
SPECIAL LEAVE POLICY
Each member of the bargaining unit shall be entitled to three (3) days
of special leave each school year, with pay, to conduct personal business
which cannot be attended to except during the school day. It is agreed
that special leave days shall not be used for rest, recreation, or seeking
or engaging in gainful employment, or travel associated with these activities.
No more than two teachers or ten percent (10%) of a school staff, whichever
number is greater, shall be absent on special leave on the same day. Special
circumstances may be considered by the Superintendent for waiving the restriction
on the number of staff members who may be absent on the same day.
No later than forty-eight (48) hours prior to taking special leave, the
member shall announce his intent to the building principal or immediate
supervisor on the form provided for special leave. In the event of an emergency,
the 48-hour requirement shall be waived. Notice of intended absences shall
be given to the appropriate administrators as early as possible.
A member who requests Special Leave the day prior to, or the day after,
the Professional Development workshop/district-wide inservice or meeting,
holiday, vacation day, or the day of a professional development workshop
or meeting, must make the request in writing with reasons to the Superintendent.
Such requests shall be granted provided the reasons are for good cause.
