Common use of Professional Leave Policy Clause in Contracts

Professional Leave Policy. Teachers in the Archbold School System are permitted release time with full pay to attend workshops, conferences, and visitations to other schools. Registration and travel expenses are reimbursed by the District per IRS guidelines. Teachers are expected to turn in receipts for all expenditures. Receipts will be reviewed and amounts in excess of the board policy may require verification that the expenditure is appropriate. Meal reimbursements will be granted per IRS guidelines. Professional leave requests must come through the building principal to the Superintendent, who will determine if the request is reasonable and of value to the school system. If granted, a qualified substitute will be used during the teacher's absence. Each teacher may be limited to six teacher-requested professional leave days per year based upon available funding. Professional leave for extracurricular purposes will be charged against the six days unless the teacher is supervising students who are participating in the event. If a request is denied, the teacher can make a written request for a written explanation of the denial. A written response will then be provided by the building principal/administrator. The Board will provide six (6) Association leave days for purposes of attending the OEA R.A's. (See ROP 2013)
