Leave for Association President/Designee. The District shall grant the Association President up to a full time leave of absence for the President's term of office in the Association. The District will pay the Association President their full salary, submitting a monthly invoice to the Association for the cost of the applicable Association leave minus any agreed upon savings. To ensure the least disruptive environment for the students involved, the Association President-Elect will establish with their supervisor a defined work schedule prior to March 15, of the President Elect's term of office. This release program will be presented to the Superintendent not later than April 1. The District shall receive and take action on the leave request prior to April 15. The Superintendent or their designee shall notify the Association President of the decision of the District within five (5) days following the decision. Upon return from such leave, the President shall be allowed normal movement on the salary schedule, and any such leave of three years or less guarantees return to the same building. In the event that a person would serve more than one consecutive term as Association President, the Board may grant a second consecutive year of leave without pay pending the Superintendent's recommendation.
