Opening and Closing of Schools. The District and the Association agree that any staffing changes, necessitated by any of the following, will be discussed with the Association: the opening of schools, the closing of schools, the movement of educators when a grade level or other group of students is moved from one school or facility to another, and school boundary changes.
Opening and Closing of Schools. When a new school is to be opened, all proposed vacancies to be filled shall be posted. Whenever possible, selections will be made on the basis of voluntary transfer. However, when an opening of a school is accompanied by the closing of a school or grade level eliminations within a school, those unit members being displaced shall be accorded first preference in interviewing at the school being opened. The closing of a school will require that all members assigned to the school that is to be closed will be given preference in interviewing for available openings in accordance with the procedure authorized in Part A of this Article. The District should make the final decision to close a school as early as practicable and not later than July 1, except in extenuating circumstances.
Opening and Closing of Schools. In the case that it becomes necessary to either open or close schools, the District will bargain with the Association the procedure to be used to place teachers in teaching positions for the year of the opening/closing.
