Paraeducators. 1. In case of lay off in this classification, the following criteria shall determine the order in which paraeducators will be reduced. a. School/program level (1) Library (2) Reading Tutors (3) Special Education b. Quality of performance based on an annual evaluation. c. Seniority shall be the determining criterion if quality of performance is substantially equal. Seniority is defined as total number of years of continued employment in the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ School District. Seniority is not accrued by employees on unpaid leave nor by part time paraeducators (those working less than the standard work day). 2. The school administration shall consider the applications of terminated employees for such positions which may become available in subsequent years provided that said terminated employees apply in a timely manner when a position becomes vacant. A previously employed paraprofessional who returns to a paraprofessional position shall resume employment, with the School District, at no less than the step occupied when terminated. At the time paraprofessional vacancies occur, all paraeducators who were terminated under this article during the previous two years shall be notified of such vacancies at their last known address.
