Members who do not qualify as competent for a position for which they seek to be retained may nevertheless qualify as competent if they are willing to complete training applicable to that subject or grade level. The amount of required training should commence either prior to the start of the new assignment or within the first academic term of the new assignment. If the member asserts that they are competent based upon recent (within the last five (5) years) training or wishes to be retained in a position(s) where they are not deemed to be competent, the District and the member (who has a right to have a representative present) shall review the member\u2019s training and experience to that date and determine the program, if any, that would fulfill the training requirement. Training programs may include college coursework, workshops, work with the Department Chair, program visitations, or mentoring. Consultation with officials from appropriate university and college training programs as well as TSPC may be sought to help answer questions about training programs. If an agreement cannot be reached, the District will provide final notification of the training to be required. The member will either accept the training as a condition of accepting the position or will decline and thus be laid off. The required training shall not include more than six (6) credit hours of coursework in any one (1) fiscal year with tuition being paid under the procedures described in Article 20. In addition to these six (6) extra District-paid credit hours, a member may use their allotted tuition reimbursement hours to complete the required coursework and may request from the District advancement of tuition credit hours from a subsequent year if necessary to complete this training. All credit hours accumulated as a result of retraining may be used for salary advancement.\n3. Seniority shall be determined from the first date of actual service for required duties in a regular position. Service in an athletic or activity position, or one in which trade time (not compensatory time) was exercised, shall not be counted as first date of service. Members who were under contract (as distinct from an employee agreement) in a temporary position (as distinct from a regular employee contract) and were then employed in a regular position without a break in service shall be allowed to have seniority begin from the first day of actual service in that contracted temporary position. Approved leaves of absence will not be considered as interruptions in service, and the actual year of leave will be counted as a year of service. Seniority is retained if a severance of employment and a break in service are due to layoff. If two (2) or more members are found to have equal seniority and competence, the member to be laid off will be determined by lot. The District shall provide a full seniority list to the Council each year. Additionally, the District and the Council shall meet annually to review the seniority list for all newly hired members. The District and the Council shall draw lots for all new members, including temporary members, that have the same first date of actual service and this lot number shall remain for the duration of continuous employment with the District.", "samples": [{"hash": "lFc1j7aC6VG", "uri": "/contracts/lFc1j7aC6VG#reduction-procedure", "label": "Collective Bargaining Agreement", "score": 22.2032852173,

commitments under an agreement can be decreased or scaled back. Typically, this clause specifies the conditions under which a party may request a reduction, the notice requirements, and the method for calculating the new, reduced amounts. For example, it may allow a buyer to lower the volume of goods ordered or a borrower to reduce a credit facility. The core function of this clause is to provide flexibility and a clear mechanism for adjusting contractual commitments in response to changing needs or circumstances, thereby reducing the risk of disputes."}, "json": true, "cursor": ""}}
