Other Leave Provisions. 1. The Board shall provide a substitute for those who serve on jury duty, National Guard and Reserve military duty, and who are subpoenaed to participate in court proceedings in which they are not involved as a party litigant or have an interest in the outcome of the proceeding. The Board shall pay the difference between compensation (excluding a travel allowance) for jury duty and the teacher’s salary if such duty is during teacher employment days. 2. A leave of absence without pay of up to two (2) years may be granted to any full-time teacher, upon application and approval, in the sole discretion of the Board, for the purpose of participating in educationally recognized and/or accredited teaching programs in other school districts, states, U.S. territories and domestic military programs as a full-time participant in such a program. Upon return from such a leave, a full-time teacher shall be placed in the same position on the Professional Compensation Schedule as he/she would have been if he/she had worked in the District during the period of such a leave, provided the teaching program has been approved in advance by the Superintendent and the Superintendent determines that the teacher has satisfactorily completed the teaching program in question. 3. A leave of absence without pay of up to one (1) year may be granted to any full-time tenured teacher, upon application and approval, in the sole discretion of the Board, for the purpose of study, travel, or personal business, but it is not the intent that such leave would be approved when it follows parental leave as provided in Section E above. No experience step increase shall be granted on the Professional Compensation Schedule for the period of such leave. Such leave may be extended for up to an additional one (1) year under the same terms and conditions.
