Extra-curricular Hours in a school year that are less than fifty (50) can be carried over to the following school year and can be combined with hours earned in the subsequent school year in order to reach one day of extra-curricular leave. However, those carried over hours expire at the end of the following year.
A part time teacher shall be entitled to the equivalent time off as that of a full time teacher.
In the case where the teacher accumulates sufficient hours to qualify for a day of leave in any school year, the teacher may choose to take the day in the following school year. The maximum leave allowed to be carried over by a teacher to the next school year shall be one day.
An extra-curricular activity is an activity which has received prior approval from the school principal. In areas where a question arises regarding whether an activity would qualify under this clause, the school principal will consult with the Superintendent.
Leave taken under this article shall not be taken on parent teacher days, professional development days, or administrative days unless the Division has expressly given consent to do so by the Superintendent.
This leave is contingent on the Division finding a replacement teacher. Prior notification must be submitted in writing to the teacher's principal for extra-curricular leave.
Said leave is on a first come first served basis and must be taken in no less than half-day increments.
