Such certification shall be presumed to be mandatory for all absences of more than three consecutive workdays unless waived by the Superintendent. Failure to obtain such certification shall constitute a sufficient basis for disciplinary action. The Board may require any employee to submit to a physical or mental examination by an appropriate practitioner selected by the Board for purposes of verifying an employee's eligibility for leave, or to verify an employee's ability to safely and satisfactorily perform their assigned duties.
