1260 - INCAPACITY OF SUPERINTENDENT

The Board of Education recognizes that provisions need to be established due to any incapacity of the Superintendent.

 A.A Superintendent pro tempore may be appointed by a majority of the members of the Board of Education upon determining that the Superintendent is mentally or physically unable to perform all or a portion of his/her duties. The Board may determine the Superintendent is incapacitated by a majority vote of its members:
  1.at the request of the Superintendent if s/he is absent with pay by reason of personal illness, injury, or exposure to communicable disease which could be communicated to others.
  2.upon certification of the attending physician that the Superintendent is unable to perform the duties of the office of Superintendent and such officer is absent with pay by reason of personal illness, injury, or exposure to communicable disease which could be communicated to others.
  3.upon the Board notifying the Superintendent that it intends to consider whether s/he is incapacitated. Within five (5) days after the receipt of such notice by the Superintendent a medical examination shall be jointly arranged to be conducted by a disinterested physician selected by the Board. The Superintendent may also submit medical evidence of his/her own. If the Superintendent fails to submit to a medical examination or to submit medical evidence of his/her own within thirty (30) days of receipt of the notice, the Board may presume the Superintendent is incapacitated. Written notice of the Board's determination shall be furnished the Superintendent signed by the President of the Board.
  4.upon granting a leave of absence, without pay, requested by the Superintendent by reason of illness, injury, or other disability of the Superintendent.
5. upon placing the Superintendent on an unrequested leave of absence without pay by reason of illness or other disability of the Superintendent pursuant to appropriate sections of the Revised Code.
 B.1. During the period of incapacity, the Superintendent shall:
   a.at his/her request, be placed on sick leave, with pay, not to exceed the amount of his/her accumulated but unused sick leave and any advancement of such sick leave which may be authorized by Board policy unless s/he was previously placed on a requested or unrequested medical leave of absence still in effect, or
b. at his/her request, or without such request, pursuant to Section 3319.13, Revised Code, be placed on a leave of absence without pay.
  2.The leave provided in Subsection B.1.a. and b. above shall not extend beyond the contract or term of office of the Superintendent.
 C.The Superintendent may request to the Board of Education to be returned to active duty status. The Board may require the Superintendent to establish to its satisfaction that s/he is capable of resuming such duties and further, that the duties be resumed on a full-time basis. After receipt of such request, the Board may determine by majority vote of its members that the incapacity has been removed.
 D.The Board may demand that the Superintendent return to active duty status, and upon the determination by majority vote of its members that s/he is able to resume his/her duties, the Superintendent shall return to active service.
E. The Superintendent may request a hearing before the Board of Education on any action taken under this policy and shall have the same rights in such hearings as are granted under Section 3319.16, Revised Code.
 F.1. The Superintendent pro tempore shall perform all of the duties and functions of the Superintendent, and may be removed at any time by a two-thirds (2/3's) majority vote of the members of the Board.
  2.The Board shall fix the compensation of the Superintendent pro tempore and s/he shall serve until the Superintendent's incapacity is removed or until the expiration of the Superintendent's contract or term of office, whichever is sooner.
