Transition Program. The Board of Education may implement a transition program to assist and encourage employees injured on the job to return to work on a regular basis. The Board may also choose to offer the transition program to employees who have suffered a non-work related injury. Any such transition program must satisfy the following provisions: 1. An employee participating in the program will suffer no financial disadvantage. 2. An employee participating in the transitional program may be used in place of substitutes so long as the use does not violate Article 5. 3. The creation of a transition position cannot take-away from the position of a current employee. 4. It is understood that any transition position is temporary. 5. The transition program shall not be used to relieve the Board of any obligation to fill an open position. At such time as the Bureau of Workers' Compensation, for work related injuries, and the Director of Classified Personnel and Support Services, for non-work related injuries, determines that an employee has reached maximum recovery yet cannot return to his/her regular position of employment, the employee may displace the least senior employee, in any classification for which they are qualified.
