Sick days may be used for up to six calendar weeks after the birth of the object child. In the event of a cesarean section, sick days may be used for up to eight calendar weeks. 2. In the event of miscarriage or death of the object child of the leave, the leave of absence will be terminated upon the request of the teacher.
