Prearranged Absence. Whenever a prearranged absence occurs, all of the short hour employees in the kitchen affected will have the opportunity to "move up" to a position with greater hours. Prearranged absence is defined to mean a pre-scheduled use of sick leave, personal leave, or any other leave that is schedule at least three days in advance. Short Hour employees are defined to mean anyone working less than six and one half hours per day. It is each short hour employee's responsibility to inform the Cafeteria Supervisor of his /her interest in "moving up." The cafeteria manager will arrange for "moving up" within 24 hours of official notification. "Moving up" will be done using a continuous rotation within each kitchen. The order of the continuous rotation will be established by seniority. If the Board of Education elects not to fill the Cafeteria Supervisor position, the Superintendent may establish a formal Food Service Planning Committee, which will consist of up to 5 members of the food service department. At the discretion of the Superintendent, the positions will be posted and filled in accordance with the provisions established in the OAPSE Collective Bargaining Agreement. The Superintendent will assign the responsibilities of the committee members. Those members filling the positions within the Food Service Planning Committee will receive a pay premium of $1.00 per hour. Cafeteria employees who travel during non-work hours for work related duties, will be paid actual travel time, up to a maximum of two (2) hours per trip.
Prearranged Absence. Parents/Guardians who think that some activity involving the family is important enough to require the absence of their child from school should advise the school in writing. Make-up work for credit must be made up four (4) school days after returning.
