Medical (Including Maternity) Leave. A medical leave of absence with sick leave benefits while applicable to the leave and thereafter without pay may be granted upon written request for a reasonable period of time (not to exceed the then current school year or the next succeeding school year if the Professional Employee has signed a contract for said school year) to any Professional Employee who because of illness, accident, or other medical reason (including childbearing by the Professional Employee), is physically unable to perform normal teaching assignments, provided the Professional Employee intends to return to work at the end of the leave. Such leave will be granted only after approval by the President and the Board. For the purposes of such leave, "physical inability to perform the normal teaching assignments" shall be shown by medical certification from the Professional Employee's physician and, at the Board's option, from the Board's physician. Many of the specific terms of medical leave involving childbearing of the Professional Employee shall be negotiated by the individual Professional Employee and the President. Such negotiations shall be subject to the approval of the Board.
