Leave Policy Teachers who find they are unable to be present to discharge their assignment of duties should notify the principal as soon as possible or, in the case of sick leave, by 7:30 a.m. If it is necessary to call a substitute, the teacher is to call his principal who, in turn, will make arrangements for a substitute teacher. If the principal cannot be contacted, the teacher is to call the Superintendent and a substitute teacher will be provided. Leave shall be divided into two major classes: Chargeable and Non-chargeable. Chargeable leave is that leave for which a designated number of days are credited to or accrued by a teacher at the beginning of the contract year and upon which the teacher may draw in accordance with this agreement. Non-chargeable leave is that leave for which a teacher must make application and which is granted at the discretion of the Board, i.e. professional improvement leave, association leave, leave of absence, etc. CHARGEABLE LEAVE
