In such instance, an assessment shall be made by the CTC, in consultation with the Teacher or authorized Teacher representative, of how many sick leave days would be necessary until the disability will cease or until the end of the school term, whichever is less. Once determined, the CTC may request that other Teachers donate a maximum of four (4) sick leave days toward the total number of days needed (one day donation at a time). Such donated days must be used in the school year donated.
