INFANT CARE LEAVE a. The Board of Education shall grant to any tenured teacher, male or female, an unpaid leave of absence to provide necessary care for his/her infant child, natural or adopted, who is no more than six (6) months of age at the time such leave is requested. The length of an infant care leave may not exceed one (1) year unless a one-year leave would expire during the last three months of the school year, in which case the leave shall be extended until June 30 of that school year, or the teacher requests a one-year extension in writing of the leave prior to April 1 of the school year, in which the initial infant care leave is taken. Once a one-year extension of an infant care leave is granted, the teacher must notify the Superintendent not later than April 1 of the school year during which the extended leave occurs of his/her intention to return to teaching. Failure to submit the required notice of intention to return to teaching will automatically place the teacher on a third year of unpaid leave. Teachers on infant care leave shall be entitled to no benefits while on such leave except as may be required by law. Current laws allow a twelve (12) calendar week extension of medical benefits at no cost to the employee. A teacher on infant care leave who wishes to continue health insurance coverage, beyond the twelve (12) week extension, may purchase any or all available coverage by paying to the Board the group premium rates which the Board is charged.

The leave shall begin after the period of disability and end on the dates requested by the employee provided that the ending date is the last day of a payroll period. Such a leave shall not be considered to be a break in continuous service. The time of such leave shall be counted toward seniority for SRP and vacation schedule, but shall not be counted toward earning sick leave nor shall vacation be accrued while on leave. On return from such leave an employee shall be entitled to return to the position the employee held prior to the commencement of the leave provided that the employee is still capable of performing the work of that position and provided that the position has not been abolished. If the position has been abolished, the employee shall be entitled to return to whatever position the employee would have been entitled according to seniority and applicable civil service law and rules as though the employee had been on the active payroll at the time of the abolition.
