Contractual Leave. Employees may use this leave for a purpose they believe to be sufficient to warrant their absence from their assigned responsibilities. It is the intention of the District and the Association that contractual leave is not paid vacation time for Employees but is provided to allow an Employee to attend to matters of personal importance. Contractual leave shall not be cumulative. Contractual leave may be used at the discretion of the Employee. The days requested may not be used to extend a scheduled break or holiday and may not be taken the first five (5) days or the last five (5) days of the student calendar (restricted use days), subject to the provisions set forth in Section 7.4.3. Options under contractual leaves are as follows:
Contractual Leave. (i) Contractual child care leave shall begin immediately upon the termination of the disability leave and/or the statutory leave defined above.
