GBQB Ea r ly Se par at i on P ro gr am GBQB
A year of experience is a contracted year of full-t ime duty for at least
160 days of the regular contract year. Previous contracted administrator
experience shall be counted as teaching experience. Previous experience l isted as
part -t ime shall be evaluated on the basis that two years of part -t ime equal one
year of full -t ime experience.
For teachers holding only a Teacher 's Primary Contract , the total annual
salary shall be the figure shown as annual salary on the primary contract . If the
teacher holds only a part -t ime contract , the total annual sala ry shall be the
average of the teacher 's salary for the last three years .
If the teacher also holds an extended contract , the total annual salary
shall be the amount shown as "Total Primary and Extended Contract" on the
extended contract . Pay for extra-curricular duties is expressly excluded from the
total annual salary.
To participate in the Early Separation Program, the teacher must meet
al l of the following eligibil i ty cri teria:
The teacher must have been under contract to the Kansas City, Kansas
Public Schools (USD #500) on or before August 1, 1996.
The teacher must be at least f if ty -five and no more than sixty -one years
old.
The teacher must have completed twenty -five years of contract teaching
experience, with at least seventeen years in USD 500.
The teacher must submit to Human Resources a completed Early
Separation Application on or before April 30 in the year in which
separation is to begin.
GBQB Ea r ly Se par at i on P ro gr am GBQB -2
Normally, a teacher will not be allowed to begin early separation pr ior to the
end of the contract year. Any exceptions must be approved by the
Superintendent and/or designee .
Teachers approved for the early separation benefit will be paid not more than
eighty-four monthly payments with payments beginning on July 1 of the year separation
begins and ending on the last day of the month in which the teacher dies or becomes
sixty-two years old, whichever occurs first .
The monthly benefit shall be one twelfth (1/12) of the product of the teacher 's
experience factor and the teacher 's f inal total annual salary. The experience factor is
based on the teacher 's years of experience both in and out of the district .
The teacher electing early separation, if otherwise eligible, has the right to
remain a member of the Board 's health insurance program of his or her choice unti l age
sixty-five (65) at the teacher 's expense.
The early separation benefits specified in this plan are independent of any
other retirement for which the teacher may be eligible from sources other than the school
district .
A teacher who applies for and receives pay from the Early Separation Program
forfeits the right to return to full -t ime employment in any capacity in USD 500. It is
permissible for the teacher to be hired as a substi tute in the district .
.
GBQB Ea r ly Se par at i on P ro gr am GBQB -3
Determine the number of years of experience in USD 500. Locate the
horizontal row headed by that number. If i t i s less than seventeen, i t does not
qualify. If i t is greater than thirty -five, use the "35" row.
Determine the number of years of experience in districts other than USD
500. Credit will be given for no more than eight years outside the district . The
maximum total credit shall be thirty -five years.
The intersection of the "USD 500" row and the "other" column is t he
experience factor.
Multiply the experience factor t imes the total annual salary. Divide the
product by twelve to f ind the month benefit . (See Experience Factor Table on
next page.)

GBRH Absences, Leaves, Vacations GBRH
Disability Leave
Disabil i ty leave is defined as days of absence from duty because of
personal sickness or injury of the teacher or depend ent children under 18 years of
age residing in the same house and for which no deduction is made in regular
monthly or annual compensation of the teacher.
A teacher who has been employed for the previous 12 months may also
use disabil i ty leave because of the serious medical condition of a parent. A
serious medical condi tion means an i l lness, injury, impairment, or physical or
mental condition that involves inpatient care in the hospital , hospice, or
residential care facil i ty or which requires continuing treatment by a health care
provider.
Absences for one-half (1/2) day or less shall be charged as one -half
(1/2) day. Absences for less than a day but more than one - half (1/2) shall be
charged as one (1) day.
Absences due to sickness or injury of dependent children or serious
medical condition of a parent shall be l imited to seven (7) days annually. The
term "days" as used herein is defined as days on which the teacher drawing
disabil i ty leave would normally have reported for duty.
Coverage
Disabil i ty leave benefits are extended to all teachers for whom
deductions are made for ei ther the Kansas City, Kansas, or Kansas State School
Retirement Plans.
.
GBRH Absences, Leaves, Vacations GBRH-2
Annual Allowance
Except during the init ial year of employmen t , teachers ' annual disabil i ty
leave shall be allowed at the following rates: Teachers whose primary and
extended contract year is 181 days to 205 days, 10 days allowance; 206 to 239
days, 12 days allowance; 240 days or over, 14 days allowance. In the eve nt a
teacher resigns during the contract year, f inal salary payment shall be reduced
for disabil i ty leave taken in excess of any disabil i ty leave accrued plus that
which is credited during the year of resignation at the rate of one day per
complete month of service.
Initial Employment
Upon commencing service at the beginning of the first full year of
school service, a teacher shall be provisional ly credited with 10, 12 or 14 days of
disabil i ty leave in accord with provision of .1.3. In the event of separ ation of
services during the first year of employment , adjustment in final salary payment
shall be such as to provide for the allowance of a total number of disabil i ty leave
days not in excess of one day per complete month of service. Teachers
commencing service during the school year shall be provisionally credited with
10, 12 or 14 days less one day for each preceding whole or major portion of a
month not worked, beginning with September.
Accumulation of Unused Disability Leave
Unused disabil i ty leave shall be allowed to accumulate to a maximum of
185 days. Nothing in this provision shall operate so as to annul or modify any
teacher 's number of accumulated disabil i ty leave days exist ing on July 31, 1991,
.
GBRH Absences, Leaves, Vacations GBRH-3
in excess of 185 days except that such teacher will not accumulate addit ional
unused disabil i ty leave beyond the number of such days accumulated as of July
31, 1991.
Nothing herein shall preclude the Board from granting in i ts discretion
requests for addit ional di sabil i ty leave to any teacher , regardless of length of
service, in cases of personal emergency. In considering requests for such
addit ional leave, the Board shall give special at tention to teachers who at some
time in their career have foregone disabil i ty leave accumulation by virtue of
being at the maximum level of accumulation for one or more years.
Current Day Use After Five Days Service
Current days of disabil i ty leave are credited on September 1, but they
may not be used unti l after the teacher has b een on duty at least f ive consecutive
days in the current year. This restrict ion does not apply to accumulated days. On
the first duty day of any given year, al l unused accumulated disabil i ty leave shall
be available for use.
Physician Statement May be Required
Any teacher absent due to i l lness or disabil i ty may be requested to
present a l icensed physician 's statement indicating the nature of the i l lness or
disabil i ty and the readiness of the teacher to resume his/her duties. Such
cert if ication shall be secured at the teacher 's expense.
Any teacher absent more than five consecutive days due to i l lness or
disabil i ty shall present a statement from a physician l icensed to practice
.
GBRH Absences, Leaves, Vacations GBRH-4
medicine, indicating the nature of the i l lness or disabil i ty and ver ifying that the
absentee is in good health and able to resume teaching and related duties.
Any request for disabil i ty leave benefits for any absence in excess of
twenty (20) working days for the same disabil i ty shall be accompanied by a
comprehensive statement by a l icensed physician st ipulating the nature of the
i l lness or disabil i ty necessitat ing the extended absence. Such statement shall be
presented to the Superintendent on or before the 20th day of absence. Further
review and examination by a committee of three l icensed physicians employed by
the Board may be required for al lowance of t ime in excess of twenty (20)
working days.
Superintendent Review
Final decision on cases not directly covered by these regulations shall
be left to the discretion of the Superintendent.
Loss or Preservation of Disability Leave Upon Termination
Resignation not related to Early Separation, non -renewal, or termination
of employment shall automatically void all accumulated days of disab il i ty leave.
A teacher who resigns in good standing from the district and then is
reemployed may retain accumulated disabil i ty leave if he/she returns to work or
is given a contract to return to work within twenty -four (24) months of the
effective date of the teacher 's resignation.
Abuse or Misuse of Leave
No salary shall be paid for any day's absence for which a disabil i ty is
falsely reported as the cause for absence.
.
GBRH Absences, Leaves, Vacations GBRH-5
Credit Upon Retirement or Death
