JURY DUTY OR SUBPOENAS

The Central Community School Board shall grant a leave of absence to any regularly employed person of the school system who has been called to serve jury duty.  Such leave shall be granted for the period of time required to serve such jury duty without loss of sick, emergency, or personal leave or any other benefit.  Jury duty shall not be deemed to interrupt service accumulated toward sabbatical leave.

Teachers authorized to serve jury duty must leave lesson plans for the substitutes with their principal.

LEAVE WHEN SUBPOENAED

Personnel who are involuntarily subpoenaed to be witnesses in cases where the subpoena is not the result of their personal action/cause shall be granted civil leave and shall not be charge sick or annual leave.  The School Board shall pay the difference between the pay as a witness (if any) and the regular daily pay.

An employee subpoenaed for reasons resulting from personal affairs or volunteering as a witness shall be required to take personal leave or leave without pay.

In all cases, the employee must furnish the Human Resources Department with a copy of the subpoena.
