The board realizes an emergency may arise which would necessitate a licensed employee’s absence from work which is not covered by another form of leave of absence. Such leave shall be called emergency leave.
Emergency leave must be unforeseen and beyond the control of the employee. There is no set number of days that may be taken. The leave is dependent upon the need and request of the person needing to take the leave. This leave is not deducted from sick leave. The request shall be made in writing and a written record will be maintained. The superintendent/designee shall have the discretion to grant emergency leave. The superintendent/designee shall determine whether such leave shall be paid leave or unpaid leave.
The requirements stated in Article VII of the Master Contract between the employees in that certified collective bargaining unit and the board regarding the personnel leaves of such employees shall be followed.
