Jury Duty/Court Appearance. A teacher called for jury duty or subpoenaed to give testimony before any judicial body shall be compensated for the difference between the teaching pay and the pay received for the performance of such obligations. The Board will not be liable for this provision in any legal matter where the employee is testifying against the School Board, when the employee has been subpoenaed as a witness, or in situations where the teacher is found to be guilty of gross negligence or criminal act. Teachers released from judicial proceedings, during the school day, must report for duty immediately upon being released by the court in order to receive jury duty/court appearance pay, provided at least two (2) hours remain in the normal school day or a meeting has been scheduled which the teacher would normally attend.
