Three (3) periods of accumulated substitutions can be used as one-half (½) day leave without regard to reason, subject to prior notice and scheduling approval of the site principal.

There shall also be one (1) day of in-service between semesters, and one (1) day of in-service on the closing date of school. (If extended year funding is withdrawn, the number of work days will revert to those specified in the 1983/84 contract.) For the in-service day between semesters, the District may have up to two and one-half (2 ½) hours for district in-service. The remainder of the day will be allocated for certificated staff to prepare for the next semester. The district agrees that if there is not a need for an in-service, the entire day will be designated for teachers to prepare for the next semester.
