SECTION
H - EXCHANGE TEACHER LEAVE
Upon
recommendation of the Superintendent, leaves for exchange Teacher positions
under either state, national or international programs may be granted by the
Board to Teachers who have acquired tenure in
the
District.
The
Board shall compensate any Teacher granted teacher exchange leave on the basis
of said Teacher's salary status. Any
period served as an exchange Teacher shall be applied to the salary schedule
set forth in this Agreement as if such period had been served by the Teacher in
the District.
The
Teacher on exchange leave shall also continue to receive the fringe benefits
granted to other Teachers currently teaching in the District. The Board shall deduct from the Teacher's
salary the contribution to the Illinois Teachers' Retirement System required of
the person on exchange leave computed on the Teacher's annual basic salary.
