Return from Unpaid Leaves. Employees on return from unpaid leaves are assured of employment, but not necessarily in their former assignment. Generally, employees who are on a leave of absence must notify the Assistant Superintendent – Human Resources and Operations, in writing, no later than April 1, of their intention to return to work the following school year or of their intention to extend their leave of absence, if eligible. Employees on a child care leave of absence must notify the Assistant Superintendent – Human Resources and Operations by April 1 of their intention to return to work the following year or of the intention to extend the leave, if eligible. Failure to make such notification by April 1 will result in an automatic extension of the leave, if the employee is eligible. If the employee has not made written notification to the Assistant Superintendent – Human Resources and Operations by April 1, the Assistant Superintendent – Human Resources and Operations will notify the employee by regular and certified mail that if no written notice of intent to return to work in September is received by April 15, the failure to submit such intent shall be treated as a resignation and will be acted upon by the Board at its next meeting after April 15.
Return from Unpaid Leaves. An employee on unpaid leave of absence shall be returned to the same or equivalent position in the School District subject to the reduction in force program of this Agreement.
Return from Unpaid Leaves. Upon return from an unpaid leave of absence, the teacher shall be placed in his/her position held prior to the leave, if the position is open. If the position is not open, the teacher shall be placed in an open position for which he/she is certified and qualified. An open position is one which is unfilled at any time. Upon a teacher’s request made prior to commencement of a FMLA leave of absence the Assistant Superintendent/designee may enter into a written agreement with the teacher providing for the teacher’s return from an unpaid FMLA leave of twelve (12) weeks or less to his/her position held prior to leave.

Return from Unpaid Leaves. No teacher granted an unpaid leave of absence pursuant to Article VIII shall return to service prior to the expiration date of such leave without the express written approval of the Superintendent. If a teacher on a leave of absence is to return to active duty at the beginning of the next ensuing school year, such teacher shall advise the Superintendent in writing on or before March 1st, prior to the expiration of such leave of such teacher's intention regarding returning to active duty status. Failure to provide such written notice or failure to return to service at the stated termination date of such leave shall immediately thereupon create a position vacancy which shall be filled subsequent to compliance with the posting requirements as set forth in Article X of this contract. The penalties of this section shall not be imposed upon the member establishing that the failure to provide such written notice was by reason of such member's physical or mental disability.
Return from Unpaid Leaves. The district will mail a reminder notice on or before April 20 of each year to Unit Members (with a copy to the Association) and the Unit Member must, on or before May 1, verify in writing their intention to return to duty or resign at the beginning of the next Fall semester. Failure to deliver such written confirmation of intent to return on or before May 1 shall be deemed to be an abandonment of position by the Unit Member.
