4 "Section 5. The School Code is amended by changing
5 Section 24-6 as follows:
6 (105 ILCS 5/24-6) (from Ch. 122, par. 24-6)
7 Sec. 24-6. Sick leave. The school boards of all school
8 districts, including special charter districts, but not
9 including school districts in municipalities of 500,000 or
10 more, shall grant their full-time teachers, and also shall
11 grant such of their other employees as are eligible to
12 participate in the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund under
13 the "600-Hour Standard" established, or under such other
14 eligibility participation standard as may from time to time
15 be established, by rules and regulations now or hereafter
16 promulgated by the Board of that Fund under Section 7-198 of
17 the Illinois Pension Code, as now or hereafter amended, sick
18 leave provisions not less in amount than 10 days at full pay
19 in each school year. If any such teacher or employee does not
20 use the full amount of annual leave thus allowed, the unused
21 amount shall be allowed to accumulate to a minimum available
22 leave of 350 180 days at full pay, in addition to including

1 the leave of the current year. Sick leave shall be
2 interpreted to mean personal illness, quarantine at home, or
3 serious illness or death in the immediate family or
4 household. The school board may require a physician's
5 certificate, or if the treatment is by prayer or spiritual
6 means, that of a spiritual adviser or practitioner of such
7 person's faith, as a basis for pay during leave after an
8 absence of 3 days for personal illness, or as it may deem
9 necessary in other cases. If the school board does require a
10 physician's certificate or a certificate from a spiritual
11 healer as a basis for pay during leave of less than 3 days,
12 the school board shall pay, from school funds, the expenses
13 incurred by the teachers or other employees in obtaining the
14 certificate.
15 If, by reason of any change in the boundaries of school
16 districts, or by reason of the creation of a new school
17 district, the employment of a teacher is transferred to a new
18 or different board, the accumulated sick leave of such
19 teacher is not thereby lost, but is transferred to such new
20 or different district.
21 For purposes of this Section, "immediate family" shall
22 include parents, spouse, brothers, sisters, children,
23 grandparents, grandchildren, parents-in-law, brothers-in-law,
24 sisters-in-law, and legal guardians.
