Retention Pool. The Board shall establish a retention pool for SECAs, bus aides, crossing guards, security officers, and custodians whose positions are closed following the conclusion of SY 2023-2024 and who do not secure new permanent positions within CPS by the start of SY 2024-25. Employees in these positions who are laid off shall enter a pool for SY 2024-25 and shall be assigned to schools with existing vacancies, with such employees remaining in the pool through the last school day of June 2025. Vacancy placements shall not override the bumping or recall rights or otherwise conflict with this Article. SECAs, bus aides, crossing guards, security officers, and custodians subject to layoff shall be eligible to join the retention pool if their most recent evaluation is developing or better. Employees in the retention pool shall continue to receive pay and benefits under the collective bargaining agreement during their time in the retention pool. CPS and SEIU 73 agree to convene a meeting in May 2025 and May 2026 to discuss a retention pool for school-based budget positions for school year 2025-2026 and 2026-2027. These discussions will consider budget allocations and address any anticipated vacancies.
