LAYOFF WITHIN CLASSIFICATION Clause Samples
LAYOFF WITHIN CLASSIFICATION. If it is necessary to reduce the number of employees in a job classification, employees shall be removed on the basis of their classification seniority, provided always that the remaining employees have the skill to perform the available work in the classification. Employees removed from a classification may exercise their classification seniority in any other classification in which they have classification seniority, provided they have the skill to perform the available work in such classification. Employees shall be recalled in accordance with their classification seniority.
LAYOFF WITHIN CLASSIFICATION. Where existing members of the bargaining unit cannot be transferred to other positions for which they are qualified through every reasonable effort, the District shall lay off employees within classification groups in the inverse order of seniority (least service/first released; longest service/ last released), subject to the following:
1. Classification groups shall be:
a. Elementary teachers (grades K-6).
b. Junior high teachers (grades 7-8) by subject matter licensing.
c. High school teachers (grades 9-12) by subject matter licensing.
d. Specialist by license (i.e., library, music, P.E., special education, counseling, school nurse, etc.).
e. Teachers who do not hold a specific subject matter license, but have a general elementary license, shall be placed in subject matter classification groups in which they have teaching experience in the District.
2. Multiple Licenses Bargaining unit members holding multiple subject matter or specialist endorsements must be placed in each classification group for which they are qualified.
