Extended Unpaid Leave. A leave without pay may be granted by the Board upon the request of a teacher. Said leave may be granted for such reasons as full-time advanced study, teaching abroad, travel, work study programs, etc. Said leave may not be used for the purpose of obtaining other employment. Request for said leave shall be received by the Superintendent prior to March 1 of the school year prior to the commencement of said leave. In the event a teacher wishes to apply for an additional year of leave, said teacher must request approval in writing to the Superintendent prior to March 1. The granting of an extended unpaid leave may, at the Board's discretion, be contingent upon employment of a teacher qualified to assume the applicant's duties. A proper notification in writing must be received by the Superintendent prior to March 1 of the year of the leave or three (3) months prior to the end of the leave for a leave which does not coincide with the school year.
