Eligible Use. Sick and safe leave with pay shall be allowed whenever a Teacher's absence is found to have been due to the teacher’s illness and/or disability which prevented his/her attendance at school and performance of duties on that day or days. At the time a Teacher becomes eligible to receive long-term disability compensation as provided in the Agreement, such Teacher shall no longer be eligible for any sick and safe leave pay pursuant to this section as long as the Teacher receives long-term disability benefits. A teacher may use accrued paid sick and safe leave for up to twelve (12) weeks following the birth or adoption of a child, to run concurrently with leave entitlement under the FMLA, if eligible, and Minn. Stat. § 181.941. Teachers may use personal sick and safe leave benefits provided by the employer for absences due to an illness of or injury to the teacher’s child, adult child, spouse, sibling, parent, mother-in-law, father-in-law, grandchild, grandparent, or stepparent, for reasonable periods of time as the teacher’s attendance may be necessary, on the same terms upon which the employee is able to use sick and safe leave benefits for the employee's own illness or injury. The School District may limit the use of such leave as provided in Minn. Stat. § 181.9413. Sick and safe leave eligibility that surpasses contract language above will be provided as applicable under the 2023 revised Minn Stat. § 181.940 with current provisions shared as exhibit via Appendix C. If state law is modified, clarified, or changed by an act of legislature, the use, eligibility, and definitions will align with any statutory changes unless previously defined and explicitly stated in contract language.
