• Ch. 10: Conditions of Employment

Text

(a) If a teacher serves in the general
assembly, the teacher shall be given credit for the time spent in this
service, including the time spent for council or committee meetings.
The leave for this service does not diminish the teacher's rights under
the Indiana state teachers' retirement fund or the teacher's advancement
on the state or local compensation plan. For these purposes, the teacher
is, despite the leave, considered teaching for the school during that
time.
(b) A teacher serving in the general assembly may choose to have
deductions made from the teacher's salary as a legislator for
contributions under either IC 5-10.4-4-11 or IC 5-10.3-7-9.
