Military leave without pay shall be granted to any tenured employee who enlists in any branch of the armed forces of the United States for the period of said service and three (3) months thereafter, or three (3) months after recovery of any wound or sickness at time of discharge.
ANTICIPATED DISABILITY LEAVE
Any supervisor who anticipates undergoing a state of disability such as, but not limited to, surgery, hospital confinement, medical treatment or pregnancy, may apply for a leave of absence based upon anticipated disability in accordance with provisions hereinafter set forth in which instance such leave of absence shall be chargeable to the sick leave account of said supervisor. All supervisors covered by the Agreement anticipating a state of disability shall notify the Superintendent through their Principal of the conditions expected to result in disability as soon as the condition which may result in disability is known.
A teacher who desires to continue in the performance of his/her duties during a period expected to lead to a state of disability shall be permitted to do so provided said teacher produces a statement from his/her physician stating that said teacher is physically capable of continuing to perform his/her duties and further stating up to what date, in the opinion of said physician, the teacher is capable of performing said duties.
Should the Board seek the removal of any teacher who is unable to continue in the performance of his/her duties because of disability, the Board may invoke the appropriate procedures for such removal.
The Board shall not maintain or enforce any policy or practice for removal of any tenured or non-tenured teacher from her teaching duties that is based solely on the fact of pregnancy or a specific number of months of pregnancy, but shall consider and treat each teacher on an individual basis.
The Board may seek to remove any pregnant teacher from her teaching duties on any one of the following bases:
Performance
Her teaching performance has substantially declined from the time immediately prior to her pregnancy.
Physical Incapacity
Her physical condition or capacity is such that her health would be impaired if she were to continue teaching, and which physical incapacity shall be deemed to exist only if:
the pregnant teacher fails to produce a certification from her physician that she is medically able to continue teaching; or
the Board of Education's physician and the teacher's physician agree that she cannot continue teaching; or
following any difference of medical opinion between the Board's physician and the teacher's physician, the Board requires expert consultation, in which case the Bergen County Medical Society shall be requested to appoint an impartial third physician who shall examine the teacher and whose medical opinion shall be conclusive and binding on the issue of medical capacity to continue teaching. The expense of any examination by an impartial third physician under this paragraph shall be shared equally by the teacher and the Board.
Any other "just cause" as defined in N.J.S.A. Title 18A and Article IV(C).
Where disability leaves have been approved, the commencement or termination dates thereof may be further extended or reduced for medical reasons upon application by the teacher to the Board. Such extensions or reductions shall be granted by the Board for additional reasonable periods of time provided, however, that the Board may alter the requested dates upon finding that such extensions or reductions would substantially interfere with the administration of the school and/or with the education of the pupils, and provided further that such change by the Board is not medically contraindicated. All extensions of such leave shall in any event be subject to the provisions of N.J.S.A. 18A:30-1, et seq., and specifically N.J.S.A. 18A:30-6 and 18A:30-7.
These provisions shall not be deemed to impose on the Board any obligation to grant or extend a disability leave of absence of any non-tenured teacher beyond the end of the contract school year in which the leave is obtained.
CHILD REARING LEAVE
In the case of the birth or adoption of a child, any teacher shall have the right to apply for a leave provided herein for child rearing purposes. In cases where both husband and wife are teachers in the school system, only one of said persons may be entitled to such leave.
A child rearing leave shall be granted for a period of up to two (2) years.
Application for a child rearing leave must be filed at least three (3) months before the anticipated birth or adoption of the child or immediately upon termination of the disability leave. Application deadlines may be waived in cases of sudden emergency or exigency.
The teacher shall specify in writing, the date on which he/she wishes to commence the leave and the date on which he/she wishes to return to work.
The Board may change the requested dates upon a finding that the granting of such leave for dates requested would substantially interfere with the administration of the school.
Following the granting of such leave to any teacher, the commencement or termination dates thereof may be further extended or reduced upon application by the teacher that should be submitted at least three (3) months prior to the desired change by the teacher.
Such extension or reduction shall be granted by the Board for an additional, reasonable period of time except that the Board may alter the request based upon finding that such extension or reduction substantially interferes with the administration of the school.
When a teacher who has been granted a child rearing leave returns to the system, such teacher may be assigned to any position decided upon by the Superintendent so long as such assignment is within the certification of said teacher. The purpose of such assignment is not to interfere with or disrupt the instructional program of the pupils particularly when the pupils may have commenced their instruction with a teacher who was assigned to the pupils at the start of the school year.
Anything to the contrary notwithstanding a child rearing leave granted to a non-tenured teacher need not be extended beyond the end of the contract year in which the leave is obtained.
To be eligible for a subsequent child rearing leave, a teacher must have been actively employed in the district for the full academic year prior to the requested leave.
ILLNESS TO THE FAMILY
A leave of absence without pay of up to one (1) year shall be granted for the purpose of caring for a sick member of the tenured teacher's immediate family. Additional leave may be granted at the discretion of the Board.
RETURN FROM LEAVE
All benefits to which a teacher was entitled at the time his/her leave of absence commenced, including unused accumulated sick leave and credits toward sabbatical eligibility, shall be restored to him/her upon his/her return.
EXTENSIONS AND RENEWALS
All extensions or renewals of leaves shall be applied for and granted or denied in writing. All health benefits will be maintained for the first 12 weeks of leave. Extended leave is available to eligible teachers either through statutes or through the provisions of this Article. The leaves may not be utilized consecutively.

ARTICLE XVI
GRIEVANCE
The parties believe that the adoption of a grievance procedure is a most valuable asset in the smooth functioning of a school system and for the improvement of morale. No matter how hard two interacting parties attempt, in good faith, to avoid disagreements, differences of opinions will arise from time to time. An orderly and peaceful method of resolving these differences is infinitely preferable to frustrated acquiescence, disruptive concerted action, or expensive legal action.
A grievance exists when ALSS members or ALSS claim there has been a violation, misapplication, or misinterpretation of the agreement or of any existing rule, policy, or practice of the school system.
Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent any ALSS member from discussing their grievance with their appropriate superior, provided that the resolution of the grievance is not inconsistent with terms and conditions of the employment of the ALSS member represented by ALSS.
A "grievance" is a claim by an employee or the Association based upon the interpretation, application, or violation of this Agreement, policies or administrative decisions affecting an employee or group of employees.
An "aggrieved person" is the person or persons making the claim.
A "party in interest" is the person or persons making the claim and any person who might be required to take action or against whom action might be taken in order to resolve the claim.
Both parties agree that these proceedings will be kept as informal and confidential as may be appropriate at any level of the procedure. Since it is important that grievances be processed as rapidly as possible, the number of days indicated at each level should be considered as a maximum and every effort should be made to expedite the process. The time limits specified may, however, be extended by mutual agreement.
In the event a grievance is filed at such time that it cannot be processed through all the steps in this grievance procedure by the end of the school year and, if left unresolved until the beginning of the following school year, could result in irreparable harm to a party in interest, the time limits set forth herein shall be reduced so that the grievance procedure may be exhausted prior to the end of the school year or as soon thereafter as is practicable.
Level One: Principal
An employee with a grievance shall first discuss it with his/her principal, either directly or through the Association's designated representative, with the objective of resolving the matter within twenty (20) school days of its occurrence or when knowledge of the grievance would reasonably be expected. In the event a grievance is not resolved within five (5) school days of oral presentation, the grievance shall be stated in writing and submitted to the principal no later than ten (10) school days from oral presentation. The written notice of grievance shall include the date(s) of the alleged grievance, a precise explanation of article(s), policy(ies) and/or administrative decision(s) claimed to be violated, misinterpreted and/or misapplied and by whom.
