In addition, a leave of absence with pay will be granted to an employee for a maximum of three (3) days, when the employee is subpoenaed to Court to serve as a witness. Any compensation received from the Court for this service will be turned over to the Employer.
Jury Duty and Court Leave. A. Professional employees shall be granted jury duty leave during normal working hours provided that they are served with a lawfully issued summons for such duty. There shall be no financial penalty attached to such service in any way. Such days shall not be deducted from any other leave days.
B. Professional employees shall be granted court leave during normal working hours provided they are served with a lawfully issued subpoena. When a member of the bargaining unit is subpoenaed to serve as a witness in a court action involving the Board of Education, or arising from his/her employment, he/she shall be given a leave of absence with pay for the time required for such appearance(s). For court proceedings unrelated to the member’s employment, the member may take a personal day to cover the absence. In the event that the member has used all of his/her personal days for the year, the Board will advance one
(1) personal day to the member from the following year’s personal leave allotment. Any additional days of absence required by the subpoena shall be treated as unpaid days. If the member does not return to employment with the District for the following year, the value of the advanced personal day will be deducted from the member’s final pay.
Jury Duty and Court Leave. Leave with pay for working days missed shall be granted to an Employee who is called to jury duty or subpoenaed as a witness in cases where the Employee is not a party, provided the pay shall be reduced by the amount of any compensation (excluding expense monies) received by the Employee for such jury duty, or for appearing as a witness. This shall be accomplished through payment of one hundred (100%) percent of the Employee’s salary or wages with the Employee being required to endorse the cheque received for jury duty, or for appearing as a witness, upon receipt of same and deliver same to Employer. Upon dismissal by the Court from leave pursuant to this Article the Employee will return to their place of employment if one-half of their regular day is still available for work.
Jury Duty and Court Leave. Section 1. Performance of jury duty is considered a basic civic responsibility of all employees. Accordingly, it is not appropriate to initiate a request to defer or excuse employees summoned to serve in either Federal or State Courts except in cases of the employee’s illness or physical disability. Although temporary loss of the employee’s service may impair operating capabilities, the employee’s civic duty is of overriding importance.There may occasionally arise urgent and extreme cases not involving the employee’s illness or physical disability where a request to defer or excuse an employee may be appropriate.These must be determined on an individual basis.
Section 2. If the employee’s regularly scheduled tour of duty for the period covered by court leave includes any overtime or holiday, Sunday, or night shift work, the individual is entitled, except to the extent prohibited by applicable statutes, to all other such pay as if this time were worked and the employee had not been on court leave for the judicial proceeding. Generally, fees received for jury or witness service on a non-workday, a holiday, or while in a leave without pay status may be retained by the employee. Any mileage and subsistence allowance received may be retained by the employee. An employee who is on court leave, and released early, may be granted administrative leave for the remainder of the day. Employees assigned to night duty shall be granted court leave on the days on which court duty is to be performed when attendance in court would cause them to lose time for needed rest.
Section 3. At the request of an employee who has been granted court leave, the employee’s regular days off shall be changed to coincide with jury service days off. This change of an employee’s regular days off shall not entitle the employee to receive pay in excess of that authorized for the rescheduled tour of duty.
Section 4. When an employee is summoned as a witness in a judicial proceeding to testify in an unofficial capacity on behalf of any party where the United States, the District of Columbia, or any State, or local government is a party, in the District of Columbia, a State, territory, or possession of the United States including the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, or the Republic of Panama, the employee is entitled to court leave during the absence.

C. In addition, the Board recognizes that employees may be called upon to appear in court in three circumstances. This leave will be handled in the following manner:
1. If the teacher is served a subpoena by a court of law and required to testify as a witness in a manner related to the teacher’s professional duties, this will be considered professional leave, the teacher will not be penalized in any way, and the leave will not be counted as one of the days of professional leave granted for professional improvement.
2. If a teacher is served a subpoena by a court of law for a matter unconnected with his/her educational duties, but not as a plaintiff or defendant, the teacher will be required to first use all personal leave available to him/her. When that personal leave has been exhausted, he/she may apply for one additional personal leave day which may be granted at the discretion of the building principal and/or local Superintendent and he/she will continue to be paid at his/her customary rate.
3. If a teacher is required in court as a plaintiff or as a defendant in a civil or criminal case, the teacher will first use all available personal leave. When this is exhausted he/she may then request further personal leave in accordance with the personal leave provisions of this contract.
