It is the legal duty of the Board of Education to appoint a temporary or acting Treasurer by a majority vote of the Board upon determination that the Treasurer is incapacitated in such a manner that s/he is unable to perform the duties of his/her office.

The Board shall fix the compensation of the temporary Treasurer who shall serve until the Treasurer's incapacity is removed or until the expiration of the Treasurer's contract whichever is sooner. S/He shall perform all of the duties and functions of the Treasurer, and may be removed at any time for cause by a two-thirds (2/3's) majority vote of the Board.

The Board shall determine that the Treasurer is incapacitated at the request of the Treasurer and with medical documentation upon certification of a physician selected and compensated by the Board or physician selected and compensated by the Treasurer.

Where a physician selected by the Board disagrees with a physician selected by the Treasurer, the two (2) physicians shall agree in good faith upon a third impartial physician who shall examine the Treasurer. His/Her medical opinion shall be binding on the issue of medical capacity to perform assigned duties. The expenses of the third examination shall be borne by the Board.

If the Board determines that the Treasurer is unable to perform his/her duties, s/he may:

	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;
	B.	at the request of the Board, be placed on sick leave with such pay to which s/he may be entitled or which may be authorized by Board policy;
	C.	at his/her request, be placed on a leave of absence without pay.

The foregoing leave shall not extend beyond the term of the contract.

The Treasurer may, upon request to the Board, and proper certification of recovery, be returned to active duty status, unless the Board denies the request within ten (10) days of receipt of the request.

The Treasurer may request a hearing before the Board or with a referee on any action taken under this policy.
