Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 10-20.7.

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.
