Opinion No. 96-345
January 2, 1997
The Honorable James C. Scott
State Senator

Warren, Arkansas 71671
Dear Senator Scott:
This official Attorney General opinion is issued in response to your recent
questions regarding school districts' leave policies. You have asked:
(1) Is it legal for a school district to establish a leave
policy allowing an employee who has been elected to
public office to serve in that office while remaining as
an employee of the school district?
(2) If such a leave is permissible, would it be legal to
pay the salary or a portion thereof to that employee
while he or she is absent from his or her job
assignment?
(3) Is it permissible for an Arkansas school district to
have a certified teacher leave policy that would provide
for civic leave to certified employees while such
employees participate in the meetings or sessions of
any state board, city council, quorum court, or General
Assembly of which they may be members?
