Personal Leave, Long-Term. We agree that 100% assignments, in the majority of circumstances, are in the best interest of VUEA bargaining unit members, classroom students, and school sites. The intent of this language is to insure that priority in hiring and school staffing is given to 100% employees. A personal leave may be granted by the District for either one semester or one school year upon request of a bargaining unit member based on the individual program needs and circumstances of school sites. An extension of a year may be granted by the District upon request of a bargaining unit member. Such leaves are granted to bargaining unit members who are now permanent employees and shall be granted without pay. Time spent on such leave shall not count as time served in the District and no vertical movement on the salary schedule shall occur. Assignment of the bargaining unit member on return to the staff is at the discretion of the District. A long-term leave will not be granted for the purposes of obtaining or accepting employment outside of the Ventura Unified School District with any other employer.
