10.1a Personal - Support staff shall be eligible to apply for a leave of absence without pay for one (1) year for personal reasons based upon review and recommendation of the Superintendent and approval of the Board.
10.2 PROFESSIONAL - A teacher on tenure shall be eligible for a leave of absence without pay for one (1) year for professional reasons based upon review and recommendation of the Superintendent and approval of the Board. Upon return from the leave, the teacher shall be placed on the salary schedule at the level he/she would have achieved if he/she had not been absent.
10.3 RETURN FROM LEAVE - All benefits to which employees were entitled at the time the leave of absence commenced, including unused accumulated sick leave, shall be restored to them upon their return. However, it is understood that a teacher’s return to the same grade level following a leave of absence as he/she taught prior to his/her leave is neither guaranteed, nor is it a condition of a leave of absence.
10.4 EXTENSION and RENEWALS - All extensions or renewals of leaves shall be based upon review and recommendation of the Superintendent and approval of the Board. Such requests must be received no later than February 1st prior to the school year for which the extension or renewal is requested.
10.5 MATERNITY DISABILITY LEAVE
10.5.1 Any regularly appointed employee shall notify the Superintendent of her condition and, if she elects to remain in her position, may be required to submit periodic certification of her continuing fitness to perform her duties.
10.5.2 The Board of Education recognizes that pregnancy-related disabilities must be treated like other disabilities. Thus, during the four weeks preceding and the four weeks following childbirth, when the employee is presumed to be disabled, she will be entitled to use accumulated sick days as identified in the written accounting received by each employee on the opening day of the school year.
Should disability occur earlier in the pregnancy or continue for more than four weeks following birth, the employee may use additional sick leave benefits if she presents a physician’s statement attesting to her continued disability.
10.5.3 The Board reserves the right to request a statement of health from said employee’s physician and further reserves the right to require the maternity disability leave to start sooner should her condition (mental or physical) warrant this action. Any such action shall be subject to the procedure described in 10.5:4, 10.5:4.1, and 10.5:4.2 of this Article.
10.5.4 The Board shall not remove any employee from her duties during pregnancy, except on any one of the following bases:
10.5.4.1 Performance: Her job performance has substantially declined from the time immediately prior to her pregnancy.
10.5.4.2 Physical incapacity: Her physical condition or capacity is such that her health would be impaired if she were to continue working, and which physical incapacity shall be deemed to exist only if:
a. The pregnant employee fails to produce a certification from her physician that she is medically able to continue working, or
b. The Board’s physician and the employee’s physician agree that she cannot continue working, or
c. Following any difference of medical opinion between the Board’s physician and the employees physician, the Board may request expert consultation in which case a third impartial physician, agreed upon by the employee and the Board, shall be appointed to examine the employee and render a medical opinion which shall be conclusive and binding on the issue of medical capacity to continue working. The expense of any examination by an impartial third physician under this paragraph shall be shared equally by the employee and the Board.
10.5.4.3 Just Cause: Any other just cause as defined in NJSA 18A.
10.5.5 When the anticipated period of disability occurs early in the school year and therefore could substantially disrupt the continuity of the educational process, it may be in the best interest of both parties for the leave to start at the beginning of the school year. Should both the Board and the employee agree, the employee may use up to two months of accumulated sick leave.
10.5.6 In the case of pregnancy, the commencement date of the requested maternity disability leave may be any time prior to birth.
10.5.7 The Board recognizes that pregnancy does not necessarily disable an employee. Thus, no employee will be required to take unpaid leave of absence for pregnancy. As described in Articles 10.5:3, 10.5:4, 10.5:4.1, and 10.5:4.2, the Board may at its discretion require periodic physician certification of the employee’s continued fitness to perform her duties.
10.5.8 As the Board permits employees to work until they are disabled by pregnancy, should an employee choose to take an unpaid leave prior to any actual disability, this employee will not be able to receive sick leave payments when disability does occur.
10.5.9 Except as otherwise provided in this Article, no tenured or non-tenured employee on maternity leave shall be barred from returning to work after the birth of her child by any prescribed waiting period between the birth of her child and the date of return to work; however, each such employee shall be required to file, at least two weeks prior to the date of her return or at the time of giving the required notice of intention to return, whichever is earlier, a certificate from her physician stating that she is physically capable of resuming her full duties, provided that if the Board’s physician is not in agreement, that conflict of medical opinion shall be resolved in the same manner as set forth in 10.5:4.2(c) of this Article.
10.6 Child Care and Adoption Leaves of Absence
10.6.1 The Board shall grant child care or adoption leaves of absence without pay to employees under the following terms and conditions:

10.6.3 Employees seeking an unpaid leave of absence for child care or adoption shall, when possible, make written application to the Superintendent not less than 90 days prior to the requested commencement date of the leave. This 90-day notification period may be reduced by agreement between the employee and the Superintendent.

Any change of the date of return within the same school year shall only be allowed at the discretion of the Board provided application is made following the original grant of the leave of absence but prior to the announced commencement date thereof. Such change may be granted by the Board for reasons associated with the pregnancy, birth, adoption, or for other proper causes provided that such change will not substantially interfere with administration of the school. Any tenured employee granted a leave of absence with a return date during the same school year, who wishes to extend said leave beyond the school year in which it commences, shall be permitted to do so if he or she makes application at least three weeks prior to the commencement date of his or her leave of absence subject to the provisions of 10.5:5 of this Article.

Maternity leave which begins on or after February 1st of any calendar year may extend up to two (2) years from that date, but not to exceed February 1st of the second year.
A third year may be granted at the discretion of the Superintendent. An extension of this leave for up to an additional year may be granted at the discretion of the Board of Education upon the recommendation of the Superintendent.
10.6.6 The Board shall not be required to extend the leave on non-tenured employees or within the first three years of employment of employees holding positions for which tenure is not possible beyond the school year for which they were hired. Such employees wishing to return for the following school year shall be considered by the Board for re-employment for the following year.
10.6.7 Any tenured employee and employees with three (3) continuous years in the district holding positions for which tenure is not possible may return to work in a school year subsequent to the school year in which his or her leave begins, provided he or she shall have requested to do so in his or her application for a leave of absence. Any such employee shall be permitted to return to work at the beginning of any of the two school years following the school year in which his or her leave commences, provided such employee has given the Board written notice of his or her intention to do so not less than six (6) months prior to the beginning of the school year in which he or she wishes to return.
10.6.8 No employee on child care or adoption leave shall, on the basis of said leave, be denied the opportunity to substitute in the Washington Township School District in area of his/her competence.
10.6.9 An employee granted a leave of absence under this Article shall have the following benefits paid by the Board for a period of three (3) months after the beginning of such leave:
