This leave, of over one-third of a school year, will be without benefit of increment on the salary schedule.

A teacher on childcare leave shall notify the Superintendent in writing by March 1 if he/she does not plan to return to a position at the opening of a new school year. Notification of resignation shall be given at least sixty (60) days before the expiration date of the leave if he/she is scheduled to return to a position during the school year. At the end of the leave, the teacher will be guaranteed a position in the District.

In cases of emergency, the Assistant Superintendent of Human Services may waive the three (3) month notification period prescribed herein.

It is understood that the foregoing shall not supersede provisions for layoff or other provisions of law or this contract.
