Supplemental Sick Leave – Tenured Teachers. 13.2.1 Supplemental sick leave is an additional type of sick leave intended as an added protection for full-time tenured teachers who may become seriously ill or disabled. It is intended for catastrophic injuries or illness or severe medical problems which require hospitalization or extensive medical care. Supplemental sick leave differs from ordinary sick leave in that the teacher must be authorized to use this supplemental sick leave by the formal action and approval of the Board of Education on recommendation of the Superintendent.
