Involuntary Leaves of Absence. Any licensed professional who is unable to perform their duties because of illness or temporary disability, or for any other reason necessitating absence from service in the judgment of the superintendent, shall be placed on involuntary leave of absence. If the involuntary leave of absence is because of personal illness or injury certified in writing by a physician, chiropractor, or Christian Science practitioner, the licensed professional may use unused sick leave. A licensed professional receiving such a leave shall be eligible for reinstatement upon submission of a physician's certification that the licensed professional's illness or injury has been remedied and that the licensed professional is able to return to duty.
