ARTICLE VII – LEAVE OF ABSENCE
Sick Leave
All supervisors shall be granted twelve (12) days of sick leave yearly for twelve-month employees. All unused sick leave shall be cumulative to be used for additional sick leave in later years.
If a supervisor, because of illness, is absent from school more than three (3) consecutive days, he must present a doctor’s certificate to the Superintendent upon his/her return.
Supervisors who have been on a leave of absence authorized by the Board shall have all accumulated sick leave restored to them upon return to active service.
Supervisors shall be given a written accounting of accumulated sick leave days no later than September 30th of each school year.

All supervisors shall be allowed non-accumulative leave of absence with full pay for personal business up to a maximum of four (4) work days in any contract year. The request for a fourth day of personal leave shall be accompanied by a reason for the request, subject to the approval by the Superintendent.
All leaves of absence referred to in this section are subject to the following conditions-
Request for Personal Leave form shall be filed with the Superintendent of Schools at least three (3) working days in advance of the contemplated absence, or such shorter notice as is practical in the event of an emergency. Lacking such notice the absence will be considered unauthorized and the supervisor’s pay will be deducted at a daily rate of 1/240 of the annual salary.
Personal days will not be granted the day immediately preceding or following a scheduled school closing except in cases of emergency as approved by the Superintendent of Schools.
The Superintendent of Schools, in the best educational interest of the school district, is empowered to deny any request for the above days.
At the end of each school year, all unused personal leave days provided in paragraph 1 above will be converted to sick days and added to the supervisor’s accumulation.
Funeral Leave
An allowance of five (5) days will be granted without deduction of salary in case of death of father, mother, sister, brother, husband, wife, son, daughter, father-in-law, or mother-in-law. This time shall not be deducted from the supervisor’s regular sick leave.

An allowance of one day will be granted without deduction in salary to attend the funeral of a grandparent, brother-in-law, sister-in-law of a supervisor’s spouse or an uncle or aunt.
Anticipated Disability Leave
Any supervisor who anticipates disability because of a specific future event, such as pending surgery or other medical procedures, shall report that status to the Board of Education as soon as such supervisor becomes aware of same. If the anticipated disabling event is childbirth, the supervisor who becomes pregnant shall notify the Board at least ninety (90) days prior to the expected date of delivery. At the time of notification, the supervisor shall submit a physician’s certificate attesting to the pending disabling condition.
Requests for disability/sick leave relating to anticipated disability shall include dates of onset and return from sick leave.
A supervisor may request unpaid leave of absence to prepare for an anticipated disabling event. Such requests shall be submitted a minimum of sixty (60) days prior to the onset of the requested leave except that in cases of emergency, as determined by the Board, such requests may be submitted less than sixty (60) days prior to the onset of the requested leave.
When the requested date of onset of unpaid leave occurs during periods which would substantially interfere with the administration of the school and/or the education of the pupils, the Board may alter the requested dates providing that such change by the Board is not medically contraindicated.
The supervisor who anticipates a specific disabling event and who does not request unpaid leave of absence prior to the period of actual disability shall become entitled to applicable sick leave benefits. The Board may require certification of such disability. The Board of Education reserves the right to regulate the commencement and termination dates of anticipated disability leaves in order to preserve educational continuity. When this occurs, a supervisor who is placed on an involuntary unpaid leave shall be entitled to all sick leave benefits during the period of actual disability, according to the negotiated agreement and the rules of insurance carrier. However, time spent on an unpaid leave shall not be counted for accrual of any benefits.
Requests by supervisors for extension of sick leave benefits shall be governed by law under N.J.S.A. 18A:30-6.
If the anticipated disabling event is childbirth, the Board shall presume that the pregnant supervisor becomes disabled from work four (4) weeks before the anticipated date of childbirth, upon certification of pregnancy by a physician, at which time the pregnant supervisor shall be eligible for sick leave benefits to the extent of available accumulated sick leave days. The supervisor shall be required to apply for sick leave to the Board of Education which shall grant same for said four (4) week period of time upon submission to the Board of Education of a physician’s certificate attesting to pregnancy. This option is granted only to supervisors actively employed and not to those supervisors on unpaid personal leave. If, as a result of the pregnancy, the employee becomes disabled prior to this four (4) week period, said employee may use any sick leave benefits to which she is entitled providing that (1) the supervisor’s physician provides the Board with a certificate attesting to her inability to continue working and (2) the Board reserves the right to verify the supervisor’s inability to continue working.
The Board may require that a supervisor anticipating a disabling event may be placed on sick leave if the supervisor’s physical condition leads to unsatisfactory performance of assigned duties, and/or the continued performance of those duties impairs the supervisor’s health. Such incapacity must be established by the following: the Board of Education’s physician and the supervisor’s physician agree that the supervisor cannot continue working. If there is a difference of medical opinion between the Board’s physician and the supervisor’s physician, then the two physicians shall agree in good faith on a third impartial physician, who shall examine the supervisor and whose opinion shall be conclusive and binding on the issue of physical capacity to continue working.
If the supervisor’s disability is caused by childbirth and such supervisor is receiving disability/sick leave benefits, the supervisor is presumed to be disabled for a recuperative period of four (4) weeks following childbirth upon submission of physician’s certificate attesting to the date of childbirth, during which time such supervisor shall continue to receive sick leave days to which she is entitled under sick leave policy. This applies only to those supervisors who have been actively employed prior to childbirth and not to those supervisors who have been out on unpaid personal leave.
If as a result of pregnancy, a supervisor continues to be disabled after this four (4) week period, said supervisor may use any sick leave benefits to which she is entitled providing that (1) the supervisor’s physician provides the Board with a certificate attesting to her inability to resume duties and (2) the Board reserves the right to verify the supervisor’s disability.
If the supervisor whose disability is caused by childbirth wishes to return to her duties prior to the expiration of the recuperative period, she must present medical certification of fitness to the Board. The Board reserves the right to verify her medical certification.
If the Board of Education’s physician and the supervisor’s physician disagree as to the supervisor’s fitness, then the two physicians shall agree in good faith on a third impartial physician who shall examine the supervisor, and whose medical opinion shall be conclusive and binding on the issue of the supervisor’s fitness to return to her duties prior to the expiration of the recuperative period.
Upon termination of disability a supervisor is no longer entitled to receive sick leave benefits for that particular disability. Unpaid personal leave following disability may be requested and shall be subject to the provisions on unpaid personal leave, as set forth under Subsection D.3 herein.
In no event shall the Board of Education be obligated to extend a non-tenured supervisor leave of absence beyond the contract year for which the supervisor is employed.
Supervisors may request a Child Care Leave without pay at least sixty (60) calendar days prior to the commencement of said leave. The Board may grant the request for a Child Care Leave for a period up to the end of the school year in which the birth of the child occurs or to the end of the supervisor’s contract period, whichever comes first, provided that said leave would not substantially interfere with the administration of the school.
The Board, may upon written application made not later than sixty (60) days after the birth of the child or June 30, whichever comes first, grant an extension of the child care leave through the following school year, provided that said leave would not substantially interfere with the administration of the school. This provision shall apply to non-tenured supervisors only if the Board grants said supervisor a renewal of contract for the following year.
ARTICLE VIII – PROFESSIONAL IMPROVEMENT
Conferences
With the superintendent’s approval, supervisors may be permitted to attend professional meetings which have, for their theme, subjects of interest to the professional progress of our schools. Approval to attend such meetings extending beyond one day shall be subject to approval by the Board of Education upon the recommendation of the Superintendent of Schools.
