If a bargaining unit member does not object to his/her placement on the seniority list within thirty (30) days of the posting, that list shall become final. B. Seniority shall be defined as length of service within the bargaining unit as of the bargaining unit member's first day of hire and as recognized as a union member. (Note” retro-pay does not equate retro seniority.) In circumstances of more than one bargaining unit member signing an individual contract on same date of hire, all such individuals so affected shall participate in a drawing, conducted by the Association at a time and in a place available to bargaining unit members, to determine the affected members' placement on the seniority list. The district shall be informed of the results in writing following the drawing. Members returning from a leave or layoff in which seniority does not accrue shall be placed at the bottom of the list of members for their respective position (number of accumulated years) on the list if more than one person is listed in order for that particular position. Part-time bargaining unit members shall accumulate seniority on a prorated basis, based on the actual number of paid equivalent days worked. Seniority shall be lost permanently if a bargaining unit member resigns, retires, is discharged, fails to return from an authorized leave of absence, is a probationary teacher whose contract is not renewed, or fails to respond to recall to a position for which they are certified and qualified or is permanently and verifiably disabled and will not be able to return to work. If a bargaining unit member becomes disabled, he/she shall continue to accrue seniority for not more than one (1) year or up until the time the disability is certified permanent, whichever is shorter, and if the disabled member returns to work at some future date, he/she will be reinstated with the level of seniority held prior to its discontinuance.

Teachers who are laid off following the end of the first semester or later during a contract year shall be considered having completed ...

REDUCTION IN PERSONNEL. A. There will be District-wide seniority within classifications.

Failure to report within five (5) working days after the date of delivery shall eliminate any obligation or responsibility to the employee by the District. C. In cases where employees, whose positions have been reduced, have the same length of service in the District, the placement on the seniority list shall determine who shall be affected. D.

The Association and PSM(s) so affected will be notified in writing of the date, place and time of the drawing. The drawing shall be conducted openly and at a time and place which will reasonably allow affected PSM(s) and Association Representatives to be in attendance. D. Any NTPSM on Layoff shall be recalled in inverse order of Layoff provided he/she is State certified for the vacancy.
