ACADEMIES: TENURE EXEMPTION S.B. 898: FLOOR ANALYSIS
Senate Bill 898 (as reported without amendment) Sponsor: Senator Leon Stille
Committee: Education
The bill would amend the teachers’ tenure Act to revise citations to the School Code in provisions that exempt public school academies from the Act.
Currently under the Act, a person employed in a public school academy established under Part 6a of the School Code of 1976 is not considered a teacher during that employment for the purpose of continuing tenure. The Act permits a teacher employed in an academy established under Part 6a, who is on leave of absence from a school district and was on continuing tenure in the district at the time he or she began the leave, to retain continuing tenure in that district while he or she is employed in the academy.
The bill would delete references to Part 6a in these provisions, and refer instead to the Revised School Code.
(Public Act 289 of 1995 amends the School Code of 1976 and renames it the “Revised School Code”. The Act will take effect July 1, 1996.)
