AN ACT concerning schools.
|
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, |
represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 5. The School Code is amended by changing
Section |
24-6 as follows:
|
(105 ILCS 5/24-6) (from Ch. 122, par. 24-6)
|
Sec. 24-6. Sick leave. The school boards of all school |
districts, including special charter
districts, but not |
including school districts in municipalities of 500,000
or |
more, shall grant their full-time teachers, and also shall |
grant
such of their other employees as are eligible to |
participate in the
Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund under the |
"600-Hour Standard"
established, or under such other |
eligibility participation standard as may
from time to time be |
established, by rules and regulations now or hereafter
|
promulgated by the Board of that Fund under Section 7-198 of |
the Illinois
Pension Code, as now or hereafter amended, sick |
leave
provisions not less in amount than 10 days at full pay in |
each school year.
If any such teacher or employee does not use |
the full amount of annual leave
thus allowed, the unused amount |
shall be allowed to accumulate to a minimum
available leave of |
180 days at full pay, including the leave of the current
year. |
Sick leave shall be interpreted to mean personal illness, |
|
quarantine
at home, or serious illness or death in the |
immediate family or household , or
birth, adoption, or placement |
for adoption .
The school board may require a certificate from a |
physician licensed in Illinois to practice medicine and surgery |
in all its branches, an advanced practice nurse who has a |
written collaborative agreement with a collaborating physician |
that authorizes the advanced practice nurse to perform health |
examinations, or a physician assistant who has been delegated |
the authority to perform health examinations by his or her |
supervising physician, or if the treatment
is by prayer or |
spiritual means, that of a spiritual adviser or
practitioner of |
such person's faith, as a basis for pay during leave after
an |
absence of 3 days for personal illness, or as it may deem |
necessary in
other cases. If the school board does require a
|
certificate
as a basis for pay during leave of
less than 3 |
days, the school board shall pay, from school funds, the
|
expenses incurred by the teachers or other employees in |
obtaining the certificate.
|
If, by reason of any change in the boundaries of school |
districts, or by
reason of the creation of a new school |
district, the employment of a
teacher is transferred to a new |
or different board, the accumulated sick
leave of such teacher |
is not thereby lost, but is transferred to such new
or |
different district.
|
For purposes of this Section, "immediate family" shall |
include parents,
spouse, brothers, sisters, children, |
|
grandparents, grandchildren,
parents-in-law, brothers-in-law, |
sisters-in-law, and legal guardians.
