DISTRICT INITIATED LEAVE. In the event the District has reason to question a teacher’s physical, emotional, or mental ability to carry out some or all responsibilities of the assigned teaching position, the District reserves the right to require a teacher, by written notice, to be examined by a doctor acceptable to the District, at the District’s expense. The District may place the teacher on leave status pending receipt of the doctor’s report. If placed on leave status, the teacher shall have a right to a hearing in accordance with the Michigan Tenure Act (see Article V, Michigan Teacher’s Tenure Act), or to grieve and arbitrate the District’s actions in accordance with the grievance provisions (see Article 8 of the Master Agreement). There shall be no interruption in pay while in this status and the teacher’s accumulated sick leave shall be reduced only by the number of days the doctor’s report certifies as days on which the teacher was too ill to perform regular services.
