Health Leave Any regular employee of the District may, at the discretion of the Board, be granted a leave of absence without pay for reasons of health, such leave to be specified for a period of not more than one year. Such leave may be extended in case of serious health conditions.
Study Leave Credits for study leave will be given for educational commitments falling due between an employee's nominated starting and finishing times.
CHILD BONDING LEAVE A prospective father, spouse, domestic partner or adoptive parent is entitled to child bonding leave of up to six (6) months. Child bonding leave must be taken within one (1) year of the qualifying event. Child bonding leave runs concurrent with FMLA/CFRA. The scheduling of child bonding leave (either on FMLA or CFRA) on an intermittent basis and/or requests for a reduced work schedule are subject to mutual agreement by the employee and the Agency/Department Head as allowed by law. Such an employee may elect to take accrued vacation or compensating time off during the period of child bonding leave except that in the case of an employee who is regularly scheduled to work less than the normal full-time workweek for the classification, paid leave shall be granted only for those days, or fractions thereof, on which such an employee would have worked but for child bonding leave. The use of sick leave during child bonding leave shall not be permitted to fathers, domestic partners or adoptive parents unless they are otherwise eligible to use it as provided in Administrative Code Chapter 3-20. Reinstatement subsequent to child bonding leave of absence shall be to the same classification from which leave was taken and the Department Head shall make his/her best effort to return such employee to the same geographical location, shift, and where there is specialization within a classification, to the same specialization. Questions as to whether or not the Department Head has made his/her best effort herein, shall not be subject to the grievance procedure.
Child Rearing Leave 12.7 If a teacher does not desire to return to her position as soon as she is physically able to do so, following the birth of a child, or a father wishes to remain home to rear a newborn child, he/she may apply for a child rearing leave of absence under the following conditions:
Xxxxx’s leave (1) An employee is entitled to use up to 10 days accrued personal leave each year to care for a member of his or her immediate family or a member of his or her household who is ill and requires his or her care. The employee is not entitled to take xxxxx’s leave for a particular period if another person has taken leave to care for the person for the same period.
Assault Leave Notwithstanding the provision of Section 3319.141 of the Ohio Revised Code, the Board will grant assault leave to covered employees absent due to physical disability resulting from assault under the following conditions: Any certificated/licensed teacher who must be absent from his or her duties due to physical disability resulting from an assault while teaching or participating in school-related activities, on or off school premises, before, during, or after school hours, provided that such assault is also directly related, attributable to, or arising out of the employment by this system of said teacher, will be paid his/her full schedule compensation for a maximum period of thirty (30) days. If permanently disabled, the teacher must apply for disability retirement and no assault leave shall be granted after such retirement has been approved. The period of such absence, as defined in this provision, shall be termed “assault leave.” Before Assault leave can be approved, the teacher shall furnish to the Superintendent a written, signed statement describing the circumstances and events surrounding the assault and the cause thereof, including the location and time of the assault, name and address of the victims and witnesses, and a description of the injuries sustained by each victim of the assault. If medical attention is required or sought the teacher shall also furnish to the Superintendent a statement of the nature of the disability and its duration, which has been signed by a physician licensed in the State of Ohio. The teacher will furnish this statement(s) within ten (10) working days of the assault. The Superintendent may extend this reporting period in an emergency. Falsification of either the written, signed statement of the event of circumstances surrounding the assault or the physician’s statement shall be grounds for suspension or termination of employment under 3319.16 ORC. Assault leave which is approved by the Superintendent shall not be charged against sick leave earned or earnable by the teacher, or leave granted under regulations adopted by the Board pursuant to 3319.08 ORC, or any other leave to which the teacher is entitled. Assault leave benefits shall not be paid if Workers’ Compensation benefits are paid to the teacher.
