Candidate for Public Office. An eligible teacher shall be entitled to a leave of absence, without pay, to run for and serve in public office, provided that such service requires less than a full-time commitment. After a teacher is elected to public office, his or her leave of absence shall be limited to those District contract days when the employee is on official public business required by assignment. The daily rate to be deducted from the employee’s school district salary, for each day that the employee is on leave of absence, shall be calculated by dividing the employee’s salary by the number of days in the employee’s contract. While on leave of absence pursuant to the terms of this subsection, the teacher shall retain all fringe benefits, provided that the teacher’s fringe benefits shall be subject to modification consistent with any District-wide change in fringe benefits.
