Extended Professional Leave. Section 1 - Leave Teachers who have completed at least four (4) years of service in the school corporation shall be granted an extended professional leave without pay for a period of one (1) semester or one (1) school year if they have filed written notice of the request for leave with the director of personnel at least sixty (60) calendar days before the first day of leave. If a teacher fails to give written notification to the director of personnel sixty (60) calendar days before the first day of leave of absence, then it is within the director of personnel's discretion to deny the leave. However, extended professional leave will not be denied arbitrarily or capriciously. Teachers taking extended professional leave will notify the MCCSC in writing before November 1 of the first semester or before February 15 of the second semester of their intent to return to MCCSC employment for the next semester or the next school year.
