PERSONAL LEAVES AND ABSENCES FOR
ADMINISTRATIVE AND SUPERVISORY PERSONNEL

All administrative and supervisory personnel may have three (3) days of personal leave annually. The three days of personal leave per year are noncumulative, and each person using personal leave will have the cost of a substitute teacher deducted from the monthly salary.

In addition to the three (3) days of personal leave provided annually to professional staff members and school secretary as stated above, each certified teacher and other certified staff member shall be entitled to two (2) days of non-cumulative paid personal leave annually, to be granted upon the request of the teacher or staff member.

1. Personal leave may not be taken during the first or last week of school or immediately before or after a holiday unless special permission is granted by both the principal and the superintendent.



2. Teachers and other staff members shall be expected to notify principals in advance of taking personal leave, although it is recognized that advance notification may not always be possible. The 'Personal Leave Notice" should be completed by all persons who take personal leave.



3. Since funding for the two (2) days of paid personal leave is based upon the school system's number of earned teacher units, a teacher or staff member's annual entitlement to the paid leave is not fully gained unless the teacher or staff member serves throughout the school year. Although the amended policy of the Tuscaloosa City Board of Education provides that the paid personal leave may be taken during any month of the school term, a teacher or staff member who serves one semester or less during a school year shall be entitled to only one day of paid leave, while the additional day of paid personal leave would be available to the person who replaced the teacher or staff member.
