Professional leave is defined as leave granted to a member of the instructional or administrative staff to engage in activities which will result in his professional benefit or advancement, including earning of college credits and degrees, or that will contribute to the profession of teaching. Extended professional leave is such leave extending for more than thirty consecutive days. Professional leave or extended professional leave ordinarily will be initiated by the employee and will be primarily for his benefit, or that of the teaching profession, and only incidentally for the benefit of the school board. Compensation during professional leave, or extended professional leave, may be allowed as provided by law, state board regulations, and policies of the school board. School boards may grant any member of the instructional or administrative staff three consecutive weeks professional leave during any fiscal year with compensation when school is not in session; such leave shall be cumulative for not more than two years.
