The following excerpt is from United Teachers of Oakland v. Oakland Unified Sch. Dist., 142 Cal.Rptr. 105, 75 Cal.App.3d 322 (Cal. App. 1977):
2 A new Education Code was enacted by Statutes of 1976, chapters 1010 and 1011, operative April 30, 1977. Former Education Code sections 13457, 13458, and 13459 provide generally for sabbaticals but leave to the individual school district the adoption of provisions governing the placement of a teacher who has returned from a sabbatical. Section 13462 governs reinstatement from any leave and guarantees that a teacher will be reinstated in an assignment within the scope of certificate under which the teacher was employed at the time the leave began. However, this section does not guarantee that after a return from a sabbatical a teacher will be reinstated to the same school and same class (Adelt v. Richmond Sch. Dist., 250 Cal.App.2d 149, 150-151, 58 Cal.Rptr. 151).
