Non-Continuing Contracts. a. Certificated employees hired by the SPS to replace employees who have been granted official SPS leaves shall be contracted not to exceed one (1) year in accordance with RCW 28A.405.900 and shall receive fringe benefits in accordance with this Agreement. Employees on non-continuing contracts will be evaluated as if they were employees with provisional contracts. b. The SPS will annually review the status of all individuals who are on non-continuing contracts. If the number of individuals who are on non-continuing contracts exceeds the number of employees on leave, the SPS will offer provisional or continuing contracts to a number of non-continuing contracted employees. The number of employees who will be offered provisional or continuing contracts shall be equal to the difference between the number of non-continuing employees and the number of employees on leave, who have a guaranteed right to be placed in the displacement pool when they return from leave. The SPS will provide the SEA with a list of those employees who have been offered provisional or continuing contracts. The list shall be provided to the SEA by March 16th of each year. The following procedure will be followed: 1) In January or early February, principals/program managers are asked to make recommendations for conversion of their non-continuing contracted employees. 2) Employees on non-continuing contracts who are not recommended are immediately balanced against a person on leave who has the same category as they do. 3) The remaining employees on leave are analyzed, by categories, to determine how many there are in the various teaching areas; i.e., special education, elementary education, etc. c. Each person on a non-continuing contract is balanced against a person on leave who has the same category. If there are more non-continuing contracts with the same categories than there are people on leave, employees are converted to either a provisional 1, provisional 2, or continuing contract (depending upon experience). d. Conversions are based upon the following criteria: 1) principal/program manager recommendation 2) date of employment
