3431 - ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE OF ABSENCE WITH PAY OR TEMPORARY ADMINISTRATIVE REASSIGNMENT OF TEACHERS

The School Board recognizes its obligation to maintain a working and learning environment that is conducive to the education of students and understands that at times there may be a need for determining whether members of the teaching staff are meeting the expectation of serving as an exemplar for those students and/or their professional responsibilities. In situations in which those charged with supervising professional staff members determine that an administrative leave of absence with pay or a temporary administrative reassignment of a teacher is needed for the benefit of students, colleagues, and/or the community, including but not limited to investigatory periods, the administration shall provide due process as required by Federal law.

It will be the responsibility of the Superintendent to establish administrative guidelines which ensure that the proper standards have been applied and the proper procedures have been followed when a principal decides to place a teacher on an administrative leave of absence with pay or make a temporary administrative reassignment of a teacher.

Any leave of absence with pay that will exceed fifteen (15) instructional days must be approved by the Board.
