15.1.1 The Employee shall request mandatory leave in writing. Upon written application, mandatory leaves of absence shall be granted for:
Mandatory Leaves. Upon written request supported by a doctor’s statement, a regular teacher shall be granted an unpaid leave of absence in keeping with the following procedures:
1. The written request shall be submitted to the Superintendent at least ten (10) days prior to the start of said leave if the leave is to occur during the current school year and at least ten (10) days prior to the teacher’s last day of the contract year if it is known that the teacher desires to take an unpaid leave the next school year. Early notification will better enable the Superintendent to obtain suitable substitute.
2. The Board shall grant such leave in grading period blocks, not to exceed one (1) year.
3. The request must be based upon personal illness, injury, or disability, including pregnancy related conditions.
Mandatory Leaves. The District shall grant certain mandatory leaves requested by employees if requirements have been met and reasons suitably documented. Such leaves are: Bereavement, Illness, Industrial Accident, Family Illness, Rest, Maternity, Assault and Battery, Military, Government Service, Governmental Order, Parental (mandatory in those instances defined in Section O.1. below; otherwise optional), Part-Time Service, and Sabbatical Leave.
Mandatory Leaves. Military Leave - Teachers who are inducted into the armed services will be granted leaves in conformance with conditions established by Federal and State Laws. Physical and Mental Incapacity – Teachers are responsible to inform or cause the school administration to be informed of the health-connected reason for any absence as promptly as possible. A tenure teacher may, at any time, prior to the expiration of the paid-for sick leave, request in writing, extended leave of absence terminating at a specified date. Should extension of a leave terminating at the end of the school year be required, renewal application, along with the physician's certification, must be submitted before the close of school. In the event a teacher, absent on leave which terminates at the end of a school year, recovers and is released by the attending physician so as to return to work before the expiration of the leave, then said teacher shall have to notify the Office in writing of this intention to return. Such application must be supported by a report from the attending physician certifying that the teacher is fully recovered and capable of performing the functions and duties of his/her position. This notice shall be given as much in advance of the teacher's intended return as is practicable. Upon the effective date of the physician's release, the teacher shall be placed for immediate appointment to the first available position for which he/she is qualified and which is commensurate with that, which would be held had the leave not intervened; or he/she shall be promptly referred to the Board's selected physician for examination. Teachers who do not report recovery when released by the attending physician for return for duty or who refuse to accept an available opening offered which is commensurate with the position held before the leave or who fail to request extension of leave and do not report for duty upon such expiration shall be terminated and their tenure shall be broken, provided such a determination is made pursuant to the provisions of the Michigan tenure of teachers act. Child Care Leave - The Board shall grant leave of up to one (1) year to a tenured teacher who has a legitimate need for child care leave. The leave may be extended by Board action if requested by the teacher. Unless there are extenuating circumstances, the teacher's return to work will coincide with a semester break. The teacher will be re-employed in a teaching position for which he/she is certified and...
