Sabbatical Leave means a Board of Trustees authorized release of a full-time, regular faculty member from normal faculty duties in order to improve the faculty member’s individual effectiveness in accordance with the mission statement of the faculty member’s college.

(See APPENDIX E) 9.2 INTENT Sabbatical leave is a privilege, not an earned right, accorded to qualified members of the faculty by the Board of Trustees for the purpose of professional improvement. The ultimate objective of the sabbatical leave is a contribution to the students, to the college, to the district, and to the faculty member's professional qualifications. The sabbatical project should reflect and contribute to the District goal “to employ faculty who bring to their department, division, and campus breadth and depth of knowledge, pedagogical effectiveness and life experiences that will enrich their disciplines and stimulate learning.” (Criteria for Faculty Evaluation –Article C-1) When practical, faculty members are encouraged to engage in their sabbatical projects away from the local area where they may confront materials and points of view not readily available in this immediate area. Because the intent of a sabbatical is to provide for professional growth and renewal, faculty members are strongly discouraged from participating in District activities for the duration of the sabbatical leave, except in the case of Option C (see Article 9.5.1).
