Sick leave shall not accumulate from assignment to assignment.
A substitute teacher who has been employed for at least twenty (20) consecutive days of substitute teaching in the same assignment shall on the twenty-first (21st) day, be signed to a limited term contract unless the return of the regular teacher or conclusion of the assignment is expected to occur within 5 working days.
