PERSONAL LEAVE, LEAVE WITHOUT PAY

PERSONAL LEAVE

The Sabine Parish School Board shall grant to all teachers and all other employees, except bus operators and those who receive annual leave, two (2) days absence during each school year to be used for such purposes as may be determined by the individual.  For every day an employee is absent from work over the allowed two (2) days, the employee shall be considered on leave without pay and a full day's pay shall be deducted from their regular salary for each day absent.

These (2) two days shall be used at the employee's discretion, upon submitting proper notice for such leave at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to taking said leave.  The two (2) days personal leave shall not be cumulative nor payable upon death or retirement.  Personal leave shall be charged to and deducted from current and/or accumulated sick leave as of the date personal leave is taken.

LEAVE WITHOUT PAY

The Board may grant leave of absence, without pay, to any regularly employed teacher or other employee for periods of time not to exceed one year.  Such leave shall be granted by the Board, upon proper request in writing by the employee, whenever in the discretion of the Board such leave is in the best interest of the school district. 

At the time leave without pay is granted, the Board may declare that all or certain of such leaves shall not be deemed to interrupt active service for sabbatical leave purposes.
