. The governing board of any school district may grant any
employee of the district employed in a position requiring
certification qualifications, a leave of absence for not to exceed
one year for the purpose of permitting study or travel by the
employee which will benefit the schools and pupils of the district.
The governing board may provide that the leave of absence be taken in
separate six-month periods or separate quarters rather than for a
continuous one-year period, provided that the leave of absence for
both of the separate six-month periods or any or all quarters shall
be commenced and completed within a three-year period. Any period of
service by the individual intervening between the two separate
six-month periods or separate quarters of the leave of absence shall
comprise a part of the service required for a subsequent leave of
absence.
