Illness in Family. All members of the bargaining unit shall be allowed three (3) days leave per year with pay (non-deductible from sick leave and non-accumulative) in case of serious illness, major surgery or serious accident involving the teachers' spouse or parents. These days shall also be allowed for children; however, if the leave use has been frequent or suspicion of abuse exists, the administration may require that the attending physician certify that the parent's presence was necessary. Additional days (deductible from sick leave) may be granted at the discretion of the Superintendent in an extreme case or for a person who has an established and recognized home in the home of the teacher.
