MATERNITY LEAVE

The Cameron Parish School Board shall grant to regularly employed employees leave without pay for maternity purposes for reasonable time before and after childbirth.  Such leave shall be granted upon proper application to the Board for maternity leave.

Teachers desiring the usage of current and accumulated sick leave days in lieu of maternity leave shall state such request and number of days to be used on application for maternity leave.  Teachers permitted such sick leave shall comply fully with policy GBRIB, Sick Leave, and any pertinent regulations.

In addition, teachers granted maternity leave shall also be subject to all regulations affecting such leave.  Maternity leave for the period of disability occasioned by pregnancy and/or childbirth shall not interrupt the consecutive service for sabbatical leave purposes. Once maternity leave extends beyond the period of temporary disability, however, such period of leave shall be considered an interruption of the accrual of consecutive semesters for sabbatical leave eligibility.
