The employee shall be notified of reassignment from leave status as soon as such reassignment is made by the Human Resources Office. Leaves of absence as specified in this Article shall be limited to tenured teachers in the District with the following exceptions: educational leave, sick leave, court summons leave, jury leave, maternity leave, bereavement leave and industrial accident/illness leave.
