Requirements for filling openings Sample Clauses

Requirements for filling openings. An opening occurring after the first fifteen (15) school days of the school year and the end of the school year will normally be filled by an “acting assignment” in reorganization of the building staff or employment of an individual in a replacement teaching assignment. In special and unusual situations, and when necessary to secure qualified candidates, the District may make a continuing (non-acting) appointment during the school year. However, normal procedures of notification and interviewing to assure that all interested and qualified employees are considered will be utilized prior to conclusively filling the position on a continuing basis during a current year or for the ensuing year. In addition, the Association must be notified in advance of the recruitment action of the special and unusual situation. The Association reserves the right to grieve such action if not in agreement that special and unusual circumstances exist. Mid-year reassignments will be allowed whenever such action can be reasonably construed as not excessively disruptive of present assignments consistent with sound instructional procedures and programs for students, and/or to fill an opening in a position for which few current employees hold the required qualifications.
