Full/Part Release Time - Association President. The Association may annually request full or partial release time for its President, provided that if partial release time is requested, the President and his/her building principal agree on a work schedule for the President that meets the needs of the building. The Association shall reimburse the Board in advance on a monthly basis as invoiced by the Board for the President's (full or partial) gross compensation, including the Board's employer share of contribution of retirement and all fringe benefits, such as cost of Workers' Compensation, hospitalization, life insurance, and dental. In the event payment of these invoiced charges is not made within ten (10) days of date of the invoice, the President will have authorized the amount of the invoice to be deducted from the President's next payroll check, and the monthly charges shall continue to be deducted in this manner until such time as the Association has made the applicable monthly advanced payment. The Association shall make such request in writing of the assignment of its President no later than June 30 of the year prior to application. Such assignment shall be for the school year and must be renewed by June 30 of each year by a written request from the Association prior to June 30. The Association agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Board, its members, officers, agents, and employees from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, complaints, suits or other forms of liability, including attorney fees and expenses, paid or payable by the Board, that shall arise as a result of granting release time to the Association President. The Association further agrees to provide the Board with a surety bond in an amount as the District's Treasurer deems necessary for this purpose, provided that such surety bond will not exceed an amount more than the District's current general liability insurance coverage.
