CHILD-BEARING AND CHILD-REARING LEAVE. A. During the period of actual disability related to pregnancy, teachers may, at their option, utilize regular sick leave. The Board may require, as a condition of the teacher’s return to service at the conclusion of the period of disability, production of a certificate from a physician certifying that the teacher is medically able to resume her duties. B. The Board shall grant child-rearing leave of absence without pay immediately following the conclusion of sick leave associated with child birth or commencing on a mutually agreeable date following the birth of the child, to any teacher upon request, in accordance with applicable statutes, regulations, and state agency decisions, for the balance of the school year in which the leave is requested. In addition, teachers shall, upon written request, be granted a leave of absence without pay for child-rearing purposes for one (1) full school year (September through August) following the school year in which the initial child-rearing leave occurs. In no event shall any such leave be extended beyond the end of the contract year in which the leave is requested to commence for non-tenured teachers, unless the Board otherwise elects. C. In the event that a teacher’s pregnancy terminated prior to the expiration of the leave which has been granted, or prior to the inception of the leave which may have been requested, said teacher may apply for early reinstatement by filing a written request therefore with the Superintendent, accompanied by a physician’s certification that she is medically able to resume, or continue to perform, her duties. The Board shall grant such a request if it has not contractually obligated itself to employ a replacement for the teacher in question during the period for which leave has been originally requested or granted, and if such request can be fulfilled without substantially interfering with the effective administration of the education program to which the teacher in question was assigned and seeks to be re-instated. The Board shall not contractually obligate itself for such a replacement if the leave requested is for a period of sixty (60) days or less. D. Teachers adopting a child shall receive similar leave which shall commence upon receiving de facto custody of said child, or earlier, if required for adoption. The Board reserves the right to set the term of the leave, within reasonable limits, in the best interest of the school.
