Session Out for Second Language Teachers. (a) Regular Sessional Second Language Teachers may apply for a session out without pay once in every three (3) calendar years, without loss of seniority or reappointment rights under Article 13.05 above. (b) Preferably, Teachers will apply by November 15th of the preceding calendar year, but no later than one (1) month prior to the requested session out, stating the reasons for the leave. The manager will normally respond within two (2) weeks of receipt of the application. Subject to operational considerations, such applications will not be unreasonably denied. (c) Where operational constraints limit the number of leaves available to Regular Sessional teachers as a general rule, applications for a session out under Article 17.15 will take precedence over applications under Article 17.14 above, unless the leave requested under Article 17.14 above is for bona fide medical reasons. Where a conflict arises, the parties will consult and find a mutually agreeable resolution.
