Pregnancy/Childbirth Leave. Pregnancy/childbirth leave shall be granted by the Board in accordance with the following rules and requirements:
1. A teacher who wishes to use pregnancy leave shall notify the Superintendent in writing, at least thirty (30) days before the date on which she wishes to start her leave, of her intent to take such leave and the dates requested. However, in the case of a medical emergency caused by pregnancy, the teacher shall be granted a leave, as otherwise provided in this provision, immediately on her request and the certification of the emergency from an attending physician. At the time of such notification, or as soon as reasonably possible in cases of medical emergency, the teacher shall also notify the Superintendent in writing of the time she will be returning to teaching, or should such be the case, of the fact that she does not intend to resume teaching duties. If the teacher intends to return to teaching and medical or other circumstances beyond her control require that the time of return be adjusted, she shall in addition, keep the School Corporation advised of any change in such return date.
2. Except in cases of medical emergency (in which cases certification may be required as soon as reasonably possible) the School Corporation may require as a prerequisite to pregnancy leave that the teacher furnish such Corporation with a physician's statement which certifies the fact of her pregnancy. Should childcare leave after the birth be requested, the Corporation may similarly require that a copy of the newborn's birth certificate be furnished as soon as reasonably possible after the birth.
3. The leave shall begin no later than the date medically determined by the teacher and such teacher's attending physician and shall end no earlier than at a time also medically determined by such teacher and attending physician, subject to the provisions of this section.
4. To continue in or return to her employment, the teacher must be in fact physically able to fulfill the requirements of her position. Should questions arise over the ability of the teacher to continue in or return to active employment in such position, then upon request by the School Corporation, the teacher shall furnish a statement or statements from her physician setting forth the facts and the physician's opinion as to such teacher's ability to continue to resume her duties. The School Corporation may mandate or otherwise condition the dates of such leave upon such statement(s).

Pregnancy/Childbirth Leave. A pregnant teacher may elect to take a leave of the maximum length. Said leave of absence will be for a period which begins at the time such teacher furnishes the Superintendent of Schools a physician's statement which certifies the fact of her pregnancy and which may continue until one (1) year following the live birth of the child, but not longer.

Insofar as no emergency exists in connection with pregnancy or childbirth leave, teachers who contemplate taking such a leave are encouraged to make a reasonable effort towards ensuring continuity of instruction for the students by scheduling the departure and return so as to coincide with the end or beginning, respectively, of a semester or grading period. Any teacher taking leave of absence under this policy may use any days of compensatory leave which the teacher has accumulated, but shall be required, at the option of the Superintendent of Schools to present a doctor's certificate of disability to teach to justify such use of accumulated sick leave days. Such use of compensatory leave shall be limited to the teacher's personal disabilities directly related to pregnancy and/or to the birth of the child. This leave may be taken without jeopardy to employment status, benefits, and retirement benefits, such as the teacher had accrued at the time leave commenced.
