Personal Illness and Injury Leave. 1. Full-time teachers shall be entitled to ten (10) days leave with full pay for each school year for purposes of personal illness or injury. Teachers who work less than full-time daily schedule or for less than a full year shall be entitled to that portion of ten (10) days' leave that is directly proportionate to the amount of time spent in service to the District when compared to the amount of such time that would be spent by a regular full-time employee. Sick leave shall accumulate year-to-year. 2. After all earned leave as set forth above is exhausted, additional non-accumulated leave shall be available for a period, not to exceed five (5) school months per illness or injury. During the use of such leave the amount actually paid to a substitute from the teacher's normal pay warrant, or, if no substitute is employed, that amount which would have been paid to a substitute, had one been employed, shall be deducted. The five-month period shall begin at the conclusion of the teacher's accumulated sick leave. Teachers in differential pay status may be required to furnish the District with medical certification confirming the teacher’s inability to work during each day of such absence. 3. At the end of the five-month differential period, the teacher shall be asked to consider all employment options which can include a request for unpaid leave for the remainder of the fiscal year. At the end of either the five-month period, or unpaid leave if such is requested and granted, the teacher must be physically and mentally capable of performing all regularly assigned duties.
