Does your school have a policy regarding sabbatical leaves? Do you see the value in them? Are you one of the lucky teachers who has taken one?

I am in a district that allows sabbatical leave. I have not taken one but in theory, I do see the value in them. A sabbatical is primarily geared toward academic work, research, or other purposes that will increase the individual's competence or further professional growth and will contribute to the improvement of the school. The idea is that such events, activities, or experiences will enhance the ability of the teacher to make himself or herself more productive in the classroom. So I am all for it.
I do have a slight issue with them. In looking at my colleagues who have been granted permission to take a sabbatical, the decision does not always appear to be objective. There often appears to be some bias in whose application gets approved and whose gets denied. The indivudals who are most in need of additional professional development and alternative learning milieus don't always get their application for sabbatical approved. Manytimes, those individuals who are the most visible, most liked, and consistently get articles and/or books published tend to be favored when it comes to sabbatical.

My system allows sabbaticals for up to one year. Teachers have taken them for academic, health, and personal reasons. I have never heard of anyone not being granted their request.
The sabbatical only insures your employment in the system upon return. You are not guaranteed to be placed back in your original position or school. Thus, when you take the sabbatical, you run the risk of being moved to a different grade or school or both.

You can't take a sabbatical but you can take a leave of absence. This means you can't come back unless there is opening for you. But once you are back you continue your level of seniority.
