In the recall of any bargaining unit member whose contract was suspended in a reduction in force, any city, exempted village or joint vocational school board shall proceed to recall contracts in accordance with the recommendation of the superintendent of schools who shall, within each teaching field affected, give preference to teachers on continuing contracts. The Board shall not give preference to any teacher based on seniority, except when making a decision between teachers who have comparable evaluations. b. Teachers’ contracts suspended pursuant to this article shall be subject to recall for a period of three (3) years following the effective date of suspension until the Board of Education offers a position. c. No new teacher will be employed as long as there is a teacher on the recall list who is certified/licensed for the vacancy. d. In the event of comparable evaluations then the following procedures shall apply: Recall shall be in order of seniority of tenured teacher first by certification(s)/license(s) followed in order of seniority on non-tenured teachers by certification(s)/license(s). In order to be recalled under this provision the teacher must meet the minimum certificate(s)/license(s) as required by the Ohio Department of Education.
