DP318A Resignations – Administrators and DP318 – Resignations – Licensed both state:
“Employees resigning during the contract year will be assessed the cost of a long-term substitute for any leave days used during the last [sixty (60) days for Administrators and thirty (30) days for Licensed employees] of their employment except in the case of an immediate, verified medical reason or emergency.”
Below are some clarifications on this policy:
- If the employee is resigning at the end of their contract year (June 30th for Administrators and June 5th for 2022-2023 school year for Licensed employees), or leaving due to retirement, a leave of absence, long-term disability, or military service the charge for the cost of a long-term substitute is not applied.
- “Leave days” as used in this policy includes sick, personal, and annual leave days.
- If there is an immediate, verified medical reason or emergency, the applicable days are not charged the cost of a long-term substitute.
- Bereavement, FMLA, sick bank, jury duty, excused professional days, workers’ compensation, maternity/paternity, and military days are not included when this policy is applied.
- Administrator vacation days are accrued days and are not included when this policy is applied. However, if the Administrator has taken more vacation days than earned when the Administrator leaves, they will need to repay their full daily rate for those days. Please see DP375 – Vacation Schedule for Administrative Personnel for questions on this policy.
- The cost of a long-term substitute is $144 for the 2022-23 school year and is applied regardless of whether a substitute is needed or not.
