educational officers; terms of contract.  (a)  The superintendent may
contract for the exchange of teachers and educational officers of the State
with teachers and educational officers of any other state, country, or territory. 
Teachers and educational officers of the State so exchanged shall be paid their
regular salaries.  The qualifications of all teachers and educational officers
from any such state, country, or territory so exchanged shall be equal to the
qualifications of the teachers and educational officers exchanged by the
State.  In the selection of teachers and educational officers to be exchanged,
preference shall be given in the following order:  teachers over educational
officers; principals and vice-principals over other educational officers.



(b)  All teachers and educational officers so
exchanged by the State shall be furnished transportation to and from the state,
country, or territory with which exchanged.



(c)  No compensation shall be paid by the State
to teachers and educational officers exchanged from any other state, country,
or territory; provided that in any case where the exchanged teacher or
educational officer sent from Hawaii becomes incapacitated or, for any reason,
leaves the exchange position permanently, the department may pay the visiting
exchange teacher or educational officer an amount not to exceed the salary
rating of the teacher or educational officer on exchange from Hawaii.  The
arrangement may continue until the end of the current school year or until such
time as some satisfactory adjustment has been made. [L 1996, c 89, pt of §2]
