Objective Sabbatical leaves benefit the institution, the students and the employee. The District began the Sabbatical program as a means of supporting faculty and administrative development. Employee Eligibility Full-time faculty with seven or more consecutive years of service in the District are eligible for consideration. The long term applications are approved at the January Board meeting and the short-term applications are approved at the February Board meeting. College deadlines are earlier.
Applications are due the year preceding the academic year for which the leave is requested.
A participant must agree to serve the District at least two years immediately after the leave is taken. Cost The District pays a percentage of the salary during a sabbatical. For long-term sabbaticals, Faculty may receive full pay for up to one semester. The salary will be paid in the same manner as if the employee were teaching in the District. Sabbaticals for faculty are to be scheduled during summer or outside contract dates for faculty on flexible contracts.
