Common use of External Hiring Clause in Contracts

External Hiring. Notwithstanding the above, for the staffing cycle for the 2003-2004 school year only bargaining unit members who have been declared surplus shall be recalled to staff complement vacancies based on seniority first. In the event that the most senior teacher on the recall list does not have the qualifications necessary to fill a staff complement vacancy, the next most senior teacher on the list with appropriate qualifications may be recalled. Any teacher(s) passed over in this manner will be given first consideration for the next and any subsequent staff complement vacancy postings. In the event that none of the teachers on the surplus list have the qualifications necessary for the posting, the Board may advertise and hire externally. Members on the recall list will be given first consideration for any Long Term Occasional positions. Surplus members shall be entitled to continue to be enrolled in benefits plans in which the members were enrolled immediately prior to being declared surplus, with the teacher paying the full cost of premiums for up to a maximum of two (2) years after being declared surplus, subject to the approval of the insurance carrier.
