The Board shall grant such unpaid leave of absence with the requested commencement date, which commencement date may be any date prior to birth. A unit employee may request to return to work from an unpaid child-rearing leave of absence within the same school year in which his/her leave began, provided that she/he shall have requested to do so in his/her application and shall have specified the month when she/he desires to return.

However, in the event such employee shall be re-employed for the following school year, she may apply for an extension of such unpaid child-rearing leave of absence beyond the end of the current school year.
