The teacher may apply for an unpaid leave of absence under Article 17 of this Agreement without affecting any benefits which may be due under the workers’ compensation law. The Board will reimburse teachers for the cost of medical, surgical, or hospital services (as covered under workers’ compensation insurance) incurred as the result of any injury sustained in the course of his/her employment.
