Assault Leave 1. An employee of Alliance City Schools who, without fault, must be absent due to physical disability resulting from an assault which occurs in the course of Board employment while on duty on school grounds during school hours or where required to be in attendance at a school sponsored function shall, after using all or three (3) days of accumulated and unused sick leave, whichever is less, be eligible for assault leave. [When an employee has no accumulated sick leave, three days of sick leave will be advanced.] Assault leave shall be granted for the period of physical disability not to exceed one-hundred eighty (180) school days upon the member's delivering to the Superintendent a signed statement indicating the nature of the injury, the date of its occurrence, the identity of the individual(s) causing the assault and the facts surrounding the assault. If medical attention is required, the member shall supply a certificate from a licensed physician stating the nature of the disability and its anticipated duration. 2. Full payment for assault leave, less Worker's Compensation, shall not exceed the member's per diem rate of pay exclusive of supplementary pay and will not be approved for payment unless and until the statement and certificate, as provided above, are submitted to the Superintendent. Falsification of either the signed statement or a physician's certificate is grounds for suspension or termination of employment under Section 3319.16 of the Ohio Revised Code. 3. Where the member exhausts his/her assault leave, he/she may use sick leave for the period of physical disability. If sick leave and the assault leave provided for herein become exhausted, the member may apply for further assault leave. Whether such additional assault leave is granted shall be determined solely by the Board in its discretion. Where the assaulted member becomes eligible for benefits under the State Teachers' Retirement System because of any disability or because of age or where the member's employment by the Board ceases for any reason whatsoever, this leave provision shall no longer apply and any assault leave payments shall automatically terminate.
