L.

Persons appointed to established Civil Service positions whose rate of pay is determined by negotiation or prevailing rates shall not be considered as being paid on an hourly basis. Nonresident teachers in the private and public elementary and secondary schools in Illinois holding an appointment of at least one-quarter time shall, if required to pay tuition, be assessed at the resident rate. This privilege also extends to the summer session immediately following the term of appointment. Any nonresident teacher who qualifies for resident tution as described above shall become subject to nonresident tuition for the entire term if the school appointment is vacated prior to completion of three-fourths of the term in question. Resignation or cancellation of the appointment prior to the close of the spring term also cancels the eligibility for the resident tuition privilege in the following summer term.
