Unpaid Child Rearing Leave. 23.3.3.1. Leave without pay or benefits may be granted to a unit member for child rearing.
Unpaid Child Rearing Leave. A unit employee may seek an unpaid child-rearing leave of absence by making application to the Superintendent at least sixty (60) days prior to the requested commencement date of such leave of absence. Said application shall set forth, in writing, the commencement date of the requested leave of absence and the anticipated termination date thereof. 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. The Board of Education shall be the sole determiner of the specific day on which she/he returns from leave; however, the date determined by the Board of Education shall fall within one (1) pay period of the date requested. Any extension or reduction of the date of return within the same school year shall only be allowed at the discretion of the Board, provided application has been made following the original grant of the unpaid leave of absence, but prior to the announced commencement date thereof. Such extension or reduction may be granted by the Board for an additional reasonable period of time for reasons associated with the pregnancy or birth, or for other proper cause, provided that such extension or reduction will not substantially interfere with the administration of the school system. Since no unit employee has any guaranty of continued employment beyond the current school year, no such unpaid child-rearing leave of absence may extend beyond the termination of the current school year in which such leave was granted and no grant of such unpaid child-rearing leave of absence for the duration of the current school year shall be construed as guaranteeing reemployment in the following school year. 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.
