Misuse of Sick Leave. If the principal or his/her superiors find that the professional employee has violated or misused this sick leave, the principal may require the employee to provide a signed statement attesting to his/her illness from a licensed physician for any subsequent absences. The employee will be notified in writing of this requirement, along with the reasons for such a decision. A copy of this notification will be sent to the Association. This requirement will remain in effect until the end of the school year or until revoked by the principal, whichever is the shorter period. In the event that it can be shown that a professional employee violated or misused this sick leave policy or misrepresented any statement or condition under this policy, he/she may be subject to a reprimand and/or forfeiture of pay for the day or days absent.
