Common use of Absences for Injury Clause in Contracts

Absences for Injury. When a Bargaining Unit Member is absent due either to an injury occasioned by an assault or resulting from the negligence of the students or the District which occurs while the Bargaining Unit Member is within the scope of this employment and is operating in conformance with Board policy, the Bargaining Unit Member shall first use his accumulated sick leave to apply to such absence, except that the Bargaining Unit Member will continue on a full salary basis with no deduction of sick leave for a period of thirty (30) calendar days after the date of the teacher’s injury if the injury resulted from the teacher’s restraint of a student or a student assault or student altercation. The Administration may in its discretion decide to postpone deduction of paid sick leave beyond the 30-day period in cases of severe injury to the teacher. If such absence exceeds the accumulated sick leave of the Bargaining Unit Member, the Board shall compensate the Bargaining Unit Member for the difference, if any, between the Bargaining Unit Member's salary and any other award, judgment, settlement, proceeds of insurance or other compensation or remuneration which he may receive from whatever source as a consequence of such injury. The Board shall not be obligated to make up this difference after the end of the school term in which such injury occurred. If the Bargaining Unit Member has been denied worker's compensation and thereafter such worker's compensation has been restored, the Board shall reinstate lost sick leave days occasioned by such injury.
