W. Va. Code R. § 126-157-5 - Sabbatical Leave Requirements/Conditions
5.1. Not less than ninety-five percent (95%)
of sabbatical leaves granted shall be for classroom teachers.
5.2. Employees may be compensated during the
sabbatical leave period up to one-half (1/2) of their regular salary.
5.3. While on sabbatical leave, employees
shall be deemed to be employed full-time for the purposes of years of
experience, accumulation of seriority, participation in the Teacher Retirement
System and the Public Employees Insurance Program. Employees who are on
sabbatical leave shall be reported to the State Board of Education on the
personal services report and their positions can be counted up to one-half
(1/2) full-time equivalent in the school foundation support program. Employees
returning from leave shall be assigned to the same position from which they
left unless another assignment is agreed to by both parties. In no case may an
assignment be made which would invalidate the employee's certification status
or bring about a demotion in position or salary.
5.4. Employees receiving sabbatical leave
shall be required to return to employment by the board which granted the leave
for a period of at least one (1) year for each year on leave or repay the
compensation and benefits received during that time and have deducted the
retirement credit and years of service credit accrued during the sabbatical
leave.
