There
are occasions when a teacher will reduce teaching time
due to sickness or disability upon the advise of the teacher's
doctor. Teachers are able to draw on their sick leave
entitlement and receive salary for that portion of time
the teacher is unable to teach. In these circumstances
it is necessary for the teacher and the board of education
to mutually agree upon a plan for the teacher's reduction
in teaching time.
There are also occasions where a teacher has been absent
on account of sickness or disability and is able to return
to teach for a fraction of regular teaching time, as verified
by the teacher's doctor. A plan for re-entry to teaching
mutually agreeable to the teacher and the board of education
is required.
Where a mutually agreeable plan cannot be reached with
respect to a reduction in teaching time or re-entry to
teaching, the teacher may choose to continue teaching
in accordance with the contract of employment or be paid
full sick leave benefits. |
