Unpaid leave may be used to excuse an involuntary absence not provided for in other leave policies or provisions. Unpaid leave must be authorized by the superintendent/designee who will have complete discretion to grant or deny the requested unpaid leave.
Absences without pay shall not be approved for vacation purposes unless approved by the superintendent. The written authorization shall include a statement of deductions from the employee's salary and shall be made in accordance with the school district's pay deduction regulations.
The amount of deduction from the pay of a salaried worker will be equal to the employee's per diem rate.
The failure to follow the school district policy and regulations, regarding absences without pay may be deemed to be neglect of duty and may be sufficient grounds for discipline including termination.
