Case Manager Absence. When a case manager is out on leave which exceeds five (5) consecutive days, the employee will make a good faith effort to ensure communication and clarification with site and/or District administration has been made. This communication shall include information related to the case manager’s responsibilities needing to be met for the duration of the absence. Once the District is informed, it will ensure the case manager responsibilities for that employee are completed and student instructional IEP minutes are met. Beginning with seniority, the District may seek a volunteer to complete case manager responsibilities. If a volunteer, rather than a substitute is selected, they shall be additionally compensated at the hourly rate of pay. The employee out on leave shall only be contacted to provide clarification as needed and if practicable; and shall not be asked to complete job related tasks.
