ARTICLE 17
EXTENDED LEAVES OF ABSENCE
A. Due to a medical disability which is substantiated by a certificate from a medical doctor, a teacher may be granted an extended leave of absence without pay, not to exceed two years. During the period of the teacher's personal medical disability, accumulated sick leave benefits shall be paid until such benefits are exhausted or the personal medical disability has terminated. During such time of medical disability leave, said teacher shall be covered by existing health insurance and benefits.
1. The Board retains the right to place a teacher on medical leave for any one of the following reasons:
(a) Whenever the teacher's medical condition adversely affects ability to continue to provide effective classroom instruction.
(b) The medical condition or capacity is such that the teacher's health would be impaired if permitted to continue teaching, and if:
(c) the teacher fails to produce a certificate from a medical doctor stating that said teacher is medically able to continue teaching, or
(d) the Board of Education's physician and the teacher's physician agree that said teacher cannot continue teaching, or
(e) following any difference of medical opinion between the Board's physician and the teacher’s physician the Board requests expert consultation in which case (a medical society) shall appoint an impartial third physician who 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.
2. When the seeking of an extended leave of absence for medical disability can be anticipated, a teacher shall file a written request for such leave with the Superintendent within seven (7) calendar days from the time the teacher knew of the necessity of taking the medical disability leave. Said request shall indicate the anticipated date on which the said leave is to terminate (if able to ascertain within reason). Written request shall indicate the anticipated plans of the teacher upon termination of the medical disability leave as to him/her returning to work, resigning, retiring, or applying for another type of leave.
3. The Board need not grant or extend the leave of absence of any non-tenured teacher beyond the end of the contract school year in which the leave is obtained. A teacher returning from a medical disability leave shall be entitled to all benefits to which said teacher was entitled at the time leave commenced.
4. No teacher shall be barred from returning to work after a medical disability leave on the grounds that not enough time has elapsed during the recovery time. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall be construed to preclude the Board from requiring any teacher to produce a certificate from a physician showing that said teacher is capable of teaching, provided that if the Board's physician is in disagreement, that conflict of medical opinion shall be resolved in the same manner as is set out in paragraph A-1.(e), of this Article.
5. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to require the Board to grant tenure to any non-tenured teacher who would not have been granted tenure in the absence of this provision or to offer a new contract for a new school year to any non-tenured teacher who would not have been offered such a contract in the absence of this provision.
6. Those employees meeting the eligibility requirements of leaves covered under the Family and Medical Leave Act (“FMLA”) and the New Jersey Family Leave Act (NJFLA) shall receive those benefits in accordance with the above-mentioned laws.”

If a tenured teacher has been on childcare leave for less than one year, a one-year extension will be granted upon request, and he/she must then return on the second September following commencement of the leave. If an employee decides not to return, he/she shall notify the Superintendent by giving notice of resignation at least 90 days before the leave expires.
2. The use of accumulated sick leave days beyond those used during the normal presumption of disability surrounding childbirth will be allowed in accordance with state statute (N.J.S.A. 18A:30-1 et seq.).
3. In the case of an employee adopting a child, child rearing leave shall commence upon receiving de facto custody of said child, or earlier if necessary to fulfill the requirements for the adoption.
C. The exact dates of child rearing leaves will be arranged in consideration of both need and administrative feasibility. The Board reserves the right to regulate the commencement and termination dates of such leaves in order to preserve educational continuity.
D. A leave of absence without pay of up to one (1) year may be granted for the purpose of caring for a sick member of a tenured teacher's immediate family. Additional leave may be granted at the discretion of the Board.
