Common use of Separation from System Clause in Contracts

Separation from System. Tenured secretaries shall, and non-tenured secretaries may, be granted a leave of absence without pay for maternity reasons. The secretary shall continue to work as long as she is physically able, as determined by her own physician. Such determination shall be presented to the Board of Education in writing no later than the sixth month of pregnancy. If, however, the Board should find that the secretary's performance is inadequate due to her physical condition, then the Superintendent may require that the secretary be examined by the school physician. Superintendent's decision shall be final. In the case that there is a difference of medical opinion between the school physician and the secretary's physician, then the Board and the secretary shall agree on a third impartial physician who shall examine the secretary and whose medical opinion shall be conclusive and binding on the issue of medical capacity to continue teaching. The cost of this third physician shall be equally shared by the Board and the secretary. These examinations shall take place during a span of time no longer than two weeks following the Superintendent's initial request.
