Sick Leave Advance. Each teacher shall be advanced five (5) days of sick leave in the event that the teacher’s accumulated balance reaches zero. Such advance may occur more than once during a contract year, subject to the following: a. The teacher must have the ability to earn the advanced sick leave prior to the expiration of the contract year (earned at a rate of 1-1/4 days per month for full-time teachers). b. The normal procedure for repaying the advanced sick leave is to utilize earned sick leave immediately earned after the advance. However, in the event that a teacher needs additional sick leave after the advanced five (5) days, days will be authorized provided that the teacher can contractually repay both the five (5) days advanced leave and other days from earned sick leave. c. In the event that a teacher leaves during the contract year with a negative sick leave balance as a result of advanced or authorized sick leave days, the Board is authorized to adjust any compensation owed to the teacher in order to receive reimbursement for the sick leave days. In the event that a contract year ends with a negative sick leave balance, the Board is authorized to adjust any compensation owed to the teacher in order to receive reimbursement for the sick leave days.
