§ 87767 Academic Employee Study Leave

Key Takeaways

  • •Community college teachers can take up to a year off to study or travel if it helps their school and students.
  • •The year off can be split into two 6-month breaks or smaller chunks, but all time off must be taken within 3 years.
  • •If a teacher works between their time off, that work time counts toward earning another break later.

Example

A math teacher wants to learn new teaching methods in another country.

The school can let the teacher take 6 months off this year and another 6 months off next year to travel and study, as long as both trips happen within 3 years. If the teacher works during the summer between trips, that time counts toward their next break.

§ 87767 Academic Employee Study Leave

The governing board of a community college district may grant any employee of the district employed in an academic position, a leave of absence not to exceed one year for the purpose of permitting study or travel by the employee which will benefit the schools and students of the district. The governing board may provide that such a leave of absence be taken in separate six-month periods or separate quarters rather than for a continuous one-year period, provided that the leave of absence for both of the separate six-month periods or any or all quarters shall be commenced and completed within a three-year period. Any period of service by the individual intervening between the two separate six-month periods or separate quarters of the leave of absence shall comprise a part of the service required for a subsequent leave of absence. (Amended by Stats. 1990, Ch. 1302, Sec. 140. Effective September 25, 1990.)
