Purpose
Sabbatical Leaves are designed to provide the employee with the opportunity to participate in intensive activities designed to expand the employee's existing skills or to provide new skills. Therefore, Sabbatical Leave funds are to be used to support the employment of a replacement of an employee during the employee's absence. Sabbatical funds are not to be used for the cost of educational expenses such as travel, registration, tuition, books or supplies (17.3 section of the MAT policy manual). The purpose of a sabbatical is to provide the employee with the opportunity of professional growth outside of their regular job and their college.
Eligibility
Employee must qualify under 1.2 section of the MAT policy manual as a Governing Board approved full-time or part-time employee, grades 13-21, and whose salary is more than 50% paid from Current Unrestricted Fund 1 or Current Auxiliary Fund 2 to be considered for a sabbatical.
To be eligible for a leave of one to four months, the employee must have worked for the District a minimum of four consecutive contractual periods. Five and six month sabbaticals require five and six consecutive contractual periods, respectively. See section 17.4 of the MAT policy manual.
