California School Sabbatical Leave Bond

Sabbaticals provide exciting opportunities for teachers, professors, and school employees to pursue their research interests, professional development, or personal growth while still receiving a portion of their salary. However, to ensure that employees return and fulfill their required service period after their leave, many California school districts require a sabbatical leave bond. By securing this bond, school employees can take full advantage of sabbatical opportunities while providing schools with the financial assurance they need.

What Is A Sabbatical Leave Bond?

A sabbatical leave bond is a surety bond that acts as a financial guarantee that protects school districts when granting sabbatical leave to teachers, professors, administrators, or other certificated school employees. During a sabbatical, employees receive a portion of their salary while furthering their education or conducting research. So, in order to ensure compliance with the school district's return-to-service requirements, the employee must secure a surety bond that covers the salary paid during the leave. If the employee fails to return and serve the required period, the sabbatical leave bond compensates the school district for its financial losses.

This bond is designed to ensure that non-immigrant aliens owning or operating a health care clinic abide by the licensing regulations set forth by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA). Additionally, these bonds provide financial protection to the state and the public by guaranteeing clinics operate ethically and comply with Medicaid and Medicare regulations. Should a clinic violate the law, a claim may be filed against the bond to cover financial losses.

Within the California education system, certificated school employees must post a sabbatical leave bond to qualify for leave. This bond is required by California Education Code § 44969. Some individuals who may need a California school sabbatical leave bond include:

  • Teachers
  • Professors
  • Administrators
  • Certificated School Employees
  • Individuals Seeking Career Development Or Further Education

To obtain a sabbatical leave bond in California, applicants must meet specific requirements, which typically include:

  • Bond Amount: A bond value equal to the salary paid during sabbatical leave.
  • Service Obligation: Employees must return and serve at least twice the length of their leave.
  • School Approval: Leave must be approved by the school before the bond is issued.
  • Bond Submission: The bond must be provided to the district before the sabbatical begins.

Each school district may have slightly different bonding requirements, so employees should confirm with their administration before applying.

The exact cost, known as the bond premium, of a California sabbatical leave bond will vary depending on a number of factors, including:

  • The Bond Amount: Typically equivalent to the employee's salary during the sabbatical period.
  • Applicant Credit Score: Applicants with higher credit scores may qualify for lower rates.
  • The Bond Provider: Prices will vary based on the surety company's underwriting guidelines.

On average, bond premiums range from 1% to 3% of the total bond amount. For example, if an employee's salary during the sabbatical is $50,000, the bond premium may cost $500 to $1,500.
