Common use of Regular Teaching and Supplemental Positions Clause in Contracts

Regular Teaching and Supplemental Positions. All position openings for instructional, administrative, and supplemental, regardless of position or whether the opening implies a promotion or whether the position is a newly created position or an extra duty position, shall be sent to bargaining unit members via District email during the calendar year. Said electronic transmission shall occur within fifteen (15) days of the position becoming open or the creation of the position and the Superintendent’s decision to fill the position, provided, however, that position openings that occur during the student school year may be filled temporarily for the remainder of that school year, and if to be filled, notice must be transmitted to bargaining unit members no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the last day of that school year. When school is not in session such notices shall be posted in the lobby near the administrative offices and shall be mailed to each member who requests notification of openings for which they are licensed/certificated and to the President of the Association. Position opening(s) shall mean any full-time, part-time, or per diem position that requires certification from the State Department of Education including supplemental or extra duty position(s), or other educational position(s) that become vacant, i.e., responsibilities not assigned to a member under a regular teacher contract and on a regular pay status. A newly created position is to be considered vacant as well as temporary positions such as curriculum work, textbook selection, etc. Such notices shall clearly set forth the required certification for the position, a description of the duties to be performed, minimum qualifi- cation(s), salary, and procedures for application. Such information will be specified by the Board or its agent(s). Certification requirements shall not exceed state minimums and the provisions of this Contract. Said minimum qualifications shall be reasonable and shall not be arbitrarily and capriciously developed so as to eliminate current member(s) from consideration. If no applications are received within ten (10) school days (two [2] full weeks when school is not in session) of the date of posting the notice electronically during the calendar year (or the postmark on mailings outside of the regular school year) and if no member has expressed interest in accordance with Section 3 below, it will be assumed that there is no interest in the position among members and the position may be filled outside the system. A member hired to fill a position must possess the posted certification and minimum qualifications for the position. Any member having proper certification may apply for the posted position and shall be granted an interview. When one (1) or more current bargaining unit member(s) applies for a bargaining unit position, and meets the posted certification and minimum qualifications, the best qualified of such member(s) shall be granted the position.
