8.3.1.7 When sufficient cause exists, the District may require an examination of the member by a physician selected by the District from the Medical Provider Network list and paid for by the District. If the physician’s report concludes that the absence is not due to personal illness or injury, or that the illness is not sufficiently severe to warrant continued absence, the Superintendent or designee,
