Leaves and Absences
Leave entitlement for personal illness or injury will accrue at the rate of 10 days each year as provided by Oregon Revised Statutes. Twelve-month employees will accrue 1 day per month or 12 days each year.
In accordance with state law, this leave will accumulate without limit.
The district reserves the right after an absence of more than five consecutive days, to require proof of personal illness or injury from all employees, including a medical examination by a physician chosen and paid for by the district. Any employee refusing to submit to such an examination or to provide other evidence as required by the district shall be subject to appropriate disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal.
All medical information will be kept confidential, in a separate file from personnel records, and released only in accordance with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act or other applicable law.
Other paid and unpaid leaves will be determined by the district’s licensed staff’s collective bargaining agreement and the accompanying administrative rule for classified staff.
Sickness or other unavoidable circumstances which prevent a teacher from teaching 20 school days immediately following exhaustion of sick leave accumulated under Oregon law will result in the teacher being placed on unpaid leave for the remainder of the school year or until the teacher’s disability is removed and he/she is able to return to work. If the teacher is unable to return to work the following August 1 the Board may terminate the teacher’s employment, subject to state and federal law.
