Legal Question in Medical Leave in Virginia
maternity leave
I had a contract for 8/06-6/07 with my school. I went on maternity leave May 07 and during that time my principal filled my position without asking me about returning following school year. Is that legal?

Re: maternity leave
Unless your contract of employment guaranteed you a right of first refusal or something similar, the school apparently was under no obligation to renew your contract for the coming school year and
apparently opted not to do so.
