BUSINESS AND EMERGENCY LEAVE. Up to three (3) days of a teacher's accumulated paid leave per year may be used for business and emergency leave; and a maximum of two (2) business and emergency leave days per year may be taken for any or no reason whatsoever; subject to limitations on permissible dates of leave, limitations on number of teachers eligible for leave on any given day, and application procedures developed by the District. Any changes to Board Rule that would modify the grounds for Business and Emergency Leave shall be negotiated with the Association prior to implementation. Part-time teachers shall be allowed leave on a prorated basis equivalent to that portion of the total of twelve (12) days leave which is, equal to the proportion of his or her hours of part-time employment to the total regular employment hours per school year, and further be allowed any unused and accumulated leave from the previous school year to an equivalent total not to exceed what that proportion is to the eighty-seven (87) days for regular full-time employees. Use of paid leave by part-time teachers shall only be allowed on a prorated basis. A teacher whose employment status changes from full-time to part-time and whose accumulated leave is greater than the maximum allowable prorated amount shall have the excess amount placed in reserve until such time that the employee's full-time equivalency increases. When the employee's full- time equivalency increases, some or all of the reserve leave shall again be part of the accumulated leave up to the maximum allowable prorated amount.
