Leave pursuant to each of these acts shall be provided to eligible teachers according to the Board’s policies and practices. Whenever a teacher is granted paid or unpaid leave pursuant to the terms of this Agreement that also qualifies as FMLA and/or VPFLL leave, the leaves will be provided concurrently. The teacher may elect to use accrued sick leave or other paid leave consistent with the terms of this Agreement during any period of leave provided pursuant to FMLA and/or VPFLL, but limited to 30 days of paid leave when it involves care of a family member and not a medical illness or injury of the employee. Also, FMLA/VPFLL leave will be provided concurrent with Workers’ Compensation benefits where such entitlement exists. Such leave is not meant to diminish or enlarge any leave provided for elsewhere under this Agreement.
