Paid Leave for BEU President. a. A full time paid leave of absence shall be granted annually to the BEU President in each year of this Agreement for the purpose of conducting BEU business. The BEU agrees to reimburse the BSC for the entire cost of wages and all fringe benefits attributable to each paid leave. The reimbursement of wages will be calculated by adding the President’s salary for that year to the average salary of persons newly employed on the same salary schedule as the President on or before September 1 of that year, and by dividing such total by two. Such reimbursement shall in no event be higher than the BEU President’s salary. In any year when there are no new hires, the parties will use the average salary calculated from the prior year, adjusted by the percentage change on the salary schedule for the year of no new hires. b. The BEU must notify the Superintendent by March 1 of the intention of the BEU President not to return to active employment in his or her bargaining unit the following school year. c.
