The teacher shall agree to return to employment in the Hastings Area School System for a period of two full years immediately following the completion of his sabbatical leave or refund on the Board's grant, where the teacher has received compensation and/or fringe benefit continuation from the Board during leave.

Sabbatical Leave. The purpose of a sabbatical leave is to provide an extended period of leave from a registered nurse’s customary work to acquire new skills and training. The sabbatical makes available the necessary time to pursue significant professional development activities, e.g., full-time academic study, participation in research projects, foreign travel to examine alternative health care options, providing health care in underserved areas, publishing. Registered nurses are eligible for their first sabbatical after working a minimum of ten (10) years of continuous regular employment as a registered nurse. An employee who qualifies may request 1) a sabbatical of up to six (6) months, or 2) a sabbatical of up to one (1) year after working thirteen (13) years of continuous regular employment. Registered nurses granted a sabbatical will receive fringe benefits consistent with their FTE level, subject to the availability of insurance coverage, and will retain their seniority. The total number of sabbatical leaves that may be granted during any one (1) year will not exceed ten (10). An employee granted a sabbatical agrees to return to employment with KFHPWA following sabbatical for at least one (1) year. Employees returning from sabbatical leave of no more than six (6) months shall be reinstated to their prior position. Thereafter, employees will be reinstated to the first available position. An employee is eligible to apply for another sabbatical only after seven (7) years have elapsed after the original sabbatical leave. The education committee under Article 14.1 shall recommend criteria for selection of the candidates and other guidelines for administering the sabbatical leave.
Sabbatical Leave. A. Teachers who have been employed for seven (7) consecutive years by the Board may be granted a sabbatical leave without pay for professional improvement for up to one (1) year.

Sabbatical Leave. Certificated employees who have been employed by the district for a period of five (5) consecutive years immediately prior to the year in which the sabbatical leave is to commence may apply for sabbatical leave. Sabbatical Leave may not exceed a period of one (1) year and shall be without pay or increment. The Board shall authorize sabbatical leaves when it deems such leaves of absence to be reasonable and for good cause, and not detrimental to education within the system. Sabbatical Leaves shall be granted for the purpose of allowing certificated employees to continue professional education renewal, advancement through research, formal education, or other means acceptable to the Board. Applications for sabbatical leaves must be submitted to the Board prior to February 1 of the year prior to the commencement of the leave. Late applications that are the result of unique professional opportunities made available to the applicant after the deadline may be submitted to the Superintendent on an exceptional basis. The decision of the Board in these cases will be non-precedental and based on the staffing needs of the school and the availability of an acceptable replacement. Eligible employees shall include, with their application, a plan outlining the year’s activities. An employee on leave may engage in full or part-time employment during the leave. An employee returning from a sabbatical leave must notify the Board in writing on or before March 1 of their intent to return. Upon return from such leave, the employee shall be assigned to his/her former position which has been filled by a replacement during the leave period.
