ABSENCES AND LEAVES OF ABSENCES. 9-1 ABSENCES DUE TO PERSONAL ILLNESS 9-1.1 Professionally certified personnel may be absent for personal illness up to ninety (90) days in a school year with full pay except as the deduction hereinafter in this section applies to them. Each year the School Committee shall, out of its appropriation, set aside for absences, illness, and deaths, except for bereavement leaves outlined in 9-4.1, an amount of money equal to the whole number of certified personnel multiplied by $401.54 (based on a per diem rate of $75). If the School Committee increases the per diem rate, the multiplier will be increased by the same percentage amount that the per diem rate increases, effective on the date of the increase. If the per diem rate and the multiplier are increased during the course of the school year, the formula will be pro-rated based on the effective date of the change. (See Appendix C-1.3). Any deficiency in this fund shall be made up by deducting from each absent teacher's salary at the end of the year an amount to be determined by the formula: D=X(A-B) Y D equals amount to be deducted A equals amount needed for substitute salaries* B equals amount appropriated as stated above X equals number of days of absence of a teacher Y equals number of days of absences of all teachers * In no case shall the amount charged to the sick leave formula exceed the per diem rate set by the School Committee in accordance with section C-1.3 or the full amount paid to category 4 substitutes.
