Conditions Which Govern Leaves. 1. Teachers who find they are unable to be present to discharge their assigned duties should notify the principal before they leave the building the evening prior to the day of their possible absence. Tentative arrangements can be made for a substitute. If it is necessary to call a substitute, then the building principal should be notified. Teachers will not make arrangements for their own substitutes.
2. Situations may suddenly occur which would require a teacher to take a leave of absence without being able to give prior notice to his/her immediate supervisor. It therefore becomes the teacher's responsibility to have another person such as a fellow teacher, a member, or a friend contact his immediate supervisor as soon as possible thereafter. It also becomes the teacher' s responsibility to complete the necessary leave forms after he/she has returned from the leave of absence.
3. Each employee shall be given a written accounting of his/her accumulated leave days in September of each school year.
4. In making a deduction for a day absent without pay, 173.5 of the annual salary will be deducted.
5. Unless otherwise specifically provided for in this Agreement an employee will not be paid for unused leave benefits when he/she leaves the employ of the District.
