Appoint teachers and fix salaries.
To appoint all teachers and fix the amount of their salaries, subject to
limitations set forth in this Act. In fixing salaries of certificated
employees, school boards shall make no discrimination on account of sex and
there shall be no loss in salary because of jury duty or because such
employee, pursuant to subpoena issued by the clerk of a court and served on
such employee, attends as a witness upon trial or to have his or her
deposition taken in any school related matter pending in court, except that the
board may make a deduction equal to the amount received for such jury duty
or for per diem fees which the employee is entitled to receive for
complying with such subpoena. Certified employees may be paid full salary
by the board when in the active service of this State, under orders of the
Commander-in-Chief, as members of the Illinois National Guard or Illinois
Naval Militia, provided that the board may deduct from such salary any
amounts received for such State service. A school board may at any time
after January 1 employ teachers for the school year beginning on the
following July 1.
