EMPLOYEES
TITLE:
SICK LEAVE
ADOPTED:
May 17, 2007
REVISED:

1.
Purpose
The sick leave policy for administrative employees shall ensure that eligible

2.
Authority
SC 1154
The Board shall provide up to a designated number of days annually for sick leave,
which shall be cumulative.
SC 1154
The Board reserves the right to require any administrator claiming sick leave pay to
submit sufficient proof, including a physician's certification, of the employee's
illness or disability.
SC 1154
The Board shall consider the application of any eligible administrator for an
extension of sick leave, pursuant to law where applicable, when the employee's own
accumulated sick leave is exhausted.
3.
Delegation of
Responsibility
The Superintendent shall report to the Board the names of administrators absent for
noncompensable cause or whose claim for sick leave pay cannot be justified.
4.
Guidelines
Pol. 317
Misuse of sick leave shall be considered a serious infraction subject to disciplinary
action.
A sick leave shall commence when the administrator, or agent if the administrator is
sufficiently disabled, reports the absence. A sick leave day, once commenced, may
be reinstated as a working day only with the approval of the Superintendent or
designee.
SC 1154
Whatever the claims of disability, no day of absence shall be considered a sick leave
day on which the employee has engaged in or prepared for other gainful
employment, or has engaged in any activity that would raise doubts regarding the
validity of the sick leave request.
