At Request of Superintendent. The Superintendent of Schools may request a physical or psychiatric examination of any employee. Whenever an examination is required, the request shall be accompanied by a written statement with valid reasons for the request. The employee may select the physician who shall furnish a report of the examination to the school physician at the Board of Education's expense. If the examination and the record show that the employee is not in proper condition to perform his or her duties, he/she may be obligated to take a leave of absence until he/she can furnish satisfactory evidence of his/her fitness to return to work. If the first examination is not conclusive, the Superintendent may require a second examination by a physician for school personnel. An employee shall be reimbursed by the Board of Education for the second examination. The examinations shall be conducted by a qualified physician who shall be in good standing in the county medical society.
