Wherever the Agreement mentions continuous or unbroken service with the Renfrew County District School Board and its predecessors, it shall be understood that any form of leave recognized by the Board will not be regarded as a break in service. (b) Each teacher's sick leave account shall be debited for the number of days absent due to personal illness and/or due to personal medical and personal dental appointments and for which salary was paid, until such account has become exhausted. When an account has been completely expended no further payments shall be made for absence due to personal illness until the account has been credited with the allowance for the next year.
