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.

(105 ILCS 5/24-13) (from Ch. 122, par. 24-13)

Sec. 24-13.

Age or absences not affecting contractual continued service
- Teachers replacing teachers in military service or in the General Assembly.
The contractual continued service status of a teacher is not affected by
his attained age, promotion, absence caused by temporary illness or
temporary incapacity as defined by regulations of the employing board,
leave of absence mutually agreed upon between the teacher and the board, or
because of absence while in the military service of the United States. If a
teacher is elected to serve in the General Assembly, the board shall grant
him a leave of absence if he so requests. A teacher employed to replace one
in the military service of the United States or one serving in the General
Assembly does not acquire contractual continued service under this Article.
If a teacher is elected to serve as an officer of a state or national
teacher organization that represents teachers in collective bargaining
negotiations, the board shall grant the teacher, upon written request, a
leave (or leaves) of absence of up to 6 years
or the period of time the teacher serves as an officer, whichever is
longer.
