Teacher Rights to Employment While on Unrequested Leave. No new teacher shall be employed by the School District while any qualified teacher is on unrequested leave of absence in the same areas of certification. Teachers placed on unrequested leave of absence shall be reinstated to the position from which they have been given leave, or any other available position in the School District in the fields in which they were qualified at the time of the leave as such positions become available. The order of reinstatement shall be in inverse order in which teachers were placed on unrequested leave. A teacher who obtains new licensure while on unrequested leave has full rights only to return to the area of original licensure. However, if there is an “open” position in the area of new licensure, the teacher has rights to return in that position.
