Documentation of Medical Leave. Any teacher who is on paid sick leave for ten (10) consecutive school days must, on request, submit documentation from a physician that the teacher is under a physician's care and unable to work. In case of disability extending beyond four (4) consecutive weeks under Article VIII, Section D, or Article IX, Section C, for which the teacher is receiving remuneration, the Board of Education may require the teacher to submit to a physical and/or mental examination. Said physical and/or mental examination shall be at the expense of the District and by a physician designated by the Board of Education. The purpose of said physical and/or mental examination shall be to determine whether the teacher involved is physically and/or mentally able to return to work. The teacher’s consent shall be required for a subsequent examination within six (6) months.
Documentation of Medical Leave. Where medical verification is required, it is the employee's responsibility to provide his immediate supervisor with a written signed statement from an appropriate medical practitioner. Such a statement shall include a diagnosis, probable date of recovery and an assessment of the attorney's ability/availability to report to work. If the illness is concerning the employee's health, the statement should be related to the employee's condition. If the verification concerns the health of an immediate family member who requires care from the employee, then the medical statement should be related to the family member's health needs and the necessity of the employee's presence.
