A teacher will be entitled to a paid leave of absence given the following criteria:
A teacher who performs twenty-five (25) hours of eligible extra-curricular duties during the school year shall be entitled to one-half (1/2) day of paid leave of absence per school year to a maximum of two (2) days.
Prior notification must be submitted in writing to the teacher’s principal for extra-curricular leave. The date for such leave shall be agreed upon between the principal and the teacher and is contingent on the Division being able to find a replacement teacher.
Teachers can carry over unused extra-curricular half (1/2) days (25 or 50 hours) to the following school year.
This leave shall not be used on scheduled in-service, administration, parent teacher, or pupil evaluation days, unless the teacher has received permission to do so by the Superintendent. Extra-curricular leave hours cannot be accumulated from year to year.
