(105 ILCS 5/13A-7)
Sec. 13A-7.
Employees.
In all school districts, including special charter
districts and districts located in cities having a population exceeding
500,000, the local school board shall grant, for a period of up to 5 years, a
leave of absence to those of its
employees who accept employment with an alternative school, provided that the
employee shall satisfy any leave of absence provisions that may exist under a
collective bargaining agreement or, if such an agreement does not exist, a
school board policy. At the end of the
authorized leave of absence, the employee must return to the school district in
a comparable position or resign. The contractual continued service status and
retirement benefits of an employee of the district who is granted a leave of
absence to accept employment with an alternative school shall not be affected
by that leave of absence.
