Makes clarifying and organizational changes to the proposed changes to GS 115C-325.3, concerning teacher contracts or renewals for terms of one, two, or four school years. Clarifies that for a full-time, permanent teacher who did not work for at least 120 workdays in a school year because of sick leave, disability leave, or leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act, the school year is not deemed to constitute a consecutive year of employment for the teacher (previously, provided that any previous consecutive years worked are consecutive to the following year). Maintains that such a school year is not considered a break in service.
