    AN ACT regarding schools.

    Be it enacted by the People of  the  State  of  Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:

    Section  5.   The  School  Code  is  amended  by changing
Section 24-13 as follows:

    (105 ILCS 5/24-13) (from Ch. 122, par. 24-13)
    Sec. 24-13.  Age or absences  not  affecting  contractual
continued  service  - Teachers replacing teachers in military
service or in the General Assembly. The contractual continued
service status of a teacher is not affected by  his  attained
age,  promotion,  absence  caused  by  temporary  illness  or
temporary   incapacity  as  defined  by  regulations  of  the
employing  board,  leave  of  absence  mutually  agreed  upon
between the teacher and the  board,  or  because  of  absence
while  in  the  military  service  of the United States. If a
teacher is elected to serve  in  the  General  Assembly,  the
board shall grant him a leave of absence if he so requests. A
teacher  employed  to  replace one in the military service of
the United States or one serving in the General Assembly does
not acquire contractual continued service under this Article.
If a teacher is elected to serve as an officer of a state  or
national    teacher  organization that represents teachers in
collective bargaining negotiations, the board shall grant the
teacher, upon written request, a leave (or leaves) of absence
of up to 6 years or the period of time the teacher serves  as
an officer, whichever is longer.

for  the  implementation  of  any  mandate  created  by  this
amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly.
