General Conditions for Approved Leaves. A. Employees on approved leaves may participate in available insurance programs but at their own expense. Employees on leave shall retain previously accumulated sick leave and salary. Seniority shall not accumulate during such leave. B. On or before March 1 of the year the leave is in effect, the employee shall give written notice of intent to return. Notice shall be sent to the Superintendent or his/her designee by certified mail, return receipt requested. Failure to advise the Superintendent or his/her designee by said date of the intent to return as required herein shall be conclusively treated as an election not to return to employment and as an absolute resignation from the District, and no action shall lie against the Board therefore. C. The Board may consider an extension of a leave for a period of up to one (1) additional year, upon request of the employee, with the final approval or disapproval remaining a Board prerogative. D. Reinstatement shall be to a similar and available position for which the employee is qualified, as determined by the Superintendent or his/her designee, with no reduction in the hourly rate of pay. The Board is under no obligation to create a position under this provision.
