§ 3005-a. Leave  of  absence  for teaching purposes.  In a city of one
  million or more, a board of education may permit any  teacher  to  apply
  for  and receive a leave of absence for a period not to exceed two years
  for teaching in a college or university, certificated and accredited  by
  the commissioner of education, provided such college or university shall
  have  agreed  to furnish an educator of professorial rank to fulfill the
  duties of the said teacher on leave  of  absence  or  any  other  duties
  assigned  by  the  superintendent  of schools. During the period of said
  leave of absence for teaching in  a  college  or  university,  the  said
  teacher  shall  receive  from  the school district in said city the same
  compensation that he  would  have  received  had  he  been  present  and
  teaching in a school of the district and the college educator if he is a
  member  of  a publicly operated college or system shall likewise receive
  the same compensation as he would have received had he remained  in  the
  college or university. Such leave of absence shall not in any way affect
  the  retirement  rights  of  the  said  teacher or college educator as a
  member of a retirement system and the period of the aforesaid  leave  of
  absence  shall  be  credited  to  the total years of service of the said
  member in the same manner and for all purposes as if he had continued in
  his position. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this chapter, nor
  any other local law or provision, the chancellor of the city board shall
  have authority to issue to such college or university educator a special
  certificate of competency which shall be  valid  for  a  period  not  to
  exceed  two  years  and  not  renewable  and under which such college or
  university educator  shall  be  permitted  to  fulfill  the  duties  and
  assignments as herein provided.
