Professional Leaves – Archive
The West Warwick School Committee, although mindful of the need to have its Administrators on site and task during the students' school day, recognizes the need for Administrators to attend meetings, conferences, and conventions of a professional nature during the school year. The School Committee, therefore, provides the following guidelines for such professional leave:
1. All such leaves must have advanced approval of the Superintendent of Schools.
2. Requests for such leaves, which extend beyond two (2) consecutive school days or an administrator's request which exceed a total of five (5) days for a given school year, must have advanced approval of the School Committee.
3. The Superintendent of Schools may designate individual Administrators to attend such professional meetings, events, and/or conferences as should occur which are directly related to the welfare of the West Warwick School System. Such designated professional leave shall not contribute to the limit of five (5) in section 2.
4. The individual Administrator who is granted professional leaves must make necessary provisions acceptable to the Superintendent of Schools to maintain an acceptable level of normalcy in the educational program for which responsibility is held.
5. The Superintendent of Schools will maintain an annual file on individual administrator's professional leaves which will be made available to the School Committee on an annual basis.
