Common use of EXTENDED LEAVES OF ABSENCE Clause in Contracts

EXTENDED LEAVES OF ABSENCE. 12.1 The Board of Education may grant leaves of absence for 1) personal illness; 2) maternity (including adoption); 3) study; 4) military service; and 5) illness of a member of the immediate family. Leaves for the first four of these reasons protect the teacher’s right to apply for disability retirement, to continue to qualify for the death benefit in the retirement system, to be reemployed by the local school system in an appropriate position as soon as a vacancy occurs after the request for reinstatement, and to unused accumulated sick leave provided he or she applies for reappointment prior to the termination of his or her leave. When a teacher requests reassignment from a leave of absence, and due to a reduction in force there are teachers on a recall list for the same kind of teaching assignment the teacher left, the teacher on leave will be placed on the recall list according to the length of continuous service he or she has had with Harford County Public Schools. Leaves of absence are without pay and are generally granted for no more than one (1) year.
