Leave for Teachers on Loan<br />
A teacher, who makes a written request for a leave of absence in order to become a “teacher on<br />
loan” to the Department of <strong>Public</strong> Instruction, may be approved for one (1) year. In order to be<br />
entitled to a leave of absence to be a “teacher on loan”, the teacher must submit a timely, written<br />
leave request to the Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources. Requests will be reviewed<br />
on a case-by-case basis and must include justification for the leave as well as explanation of how<br />
the leave will benefit the school system. In order to be eligible for leave to be a teacher on loan,<br />
the teacher must have already achieved career status, and been employed by the school system<br />
for five (5) consecutive years. Requests for an extension of a leave must be submitted by May 15<br />
in writing and will only be approved if determined to be in the best interests of the school<br />
system.<br />
