The attention of all the Regional Joint Directors of School Education and District Educational Officers in the State is invited to the ref 1st cited, wherein instructions were issued to the field level functionaries that, not less than 50% teachers should attend daily to their schools. Teaching staff should utilize their availability of leave on proportionate basis instead of being utilized on regular basis. However, if any teacher wants to utilize their leave on the working day, the individual is to be sanctioned on proportionate basis for the months of November & December, 2020. (i.e., maximum 2 ½ C.Ls only).
However, several representations have been received with regard to clarification on various leaves as follows:
Clarification Sought: With regard to Casual leaves (CLs), 2.5 days for one month or two months
Clarification issued: In the above circular it is clearly specified that, maximum 2.5 CLs for two months i.e, both November & December, 2020.
Clarification Sought:: With regard to Special Casual Leaves (SCL) and 5 days of women and OHs
Clarification issued: No Special Casual leaves / OHs to be entertained for all teachers and the above 2.5 CLs only may be claimed from the available CLs/ SCLs. The objective is to ensure that the students would not miss the presence of the teachers as much as possible in view of the meagre number of working days available after the reopening of the schools.
Clarification Sought: If any teacher suffering with COVID?
Clarification issued: He/she can apply for medical leave
In this context, all the under mentioned officers are hereby requested to issue instructions to the filed level functionaries that teaching staff should utilize their leave on the above said manner only.
