Vacancy and Posting. 1. A “vacancy” shall be defined as a teaching position which is either newly created or which is unfilled for the following school year because of death, retirement, resignation, termination, or non-renewal; and which the Board intends to fill. 2. Administrative or management level positions will be posted as a matter of information, although they do not fall within the terms of this Agreement. 3. All vacancies that are covered by this Agreement shall be posted in at least one (1) conspicuous location at each school for ten (10) days. Summer posting shall be included with the next pay check; or if requested in writing, mailed. Summer posting deadlines shall be coordinated with pay days. When a vacancy exists, the Board will attempt to select the most qualified teacher based on experience, specific qualifications, certification/licensure, and seniority. If the qualifications of two or more internal applicants are relatively equal, the qualified full-time teacher with the greatest seniority should normally be awarded the position as determined by the Superintendent. A teacher must meet certification/licensure standards set by the State Department of Education in order to be deemed minimally qualified.
