VACANCY/TRANSFER PROCEDURE, JOB POSTINGS, AND SUBSTITUTES. A. Vacancy/Transfer Procedure A vacancy is defined as an available position in the classified service. The Board shall determine when a position shall be filled. Except as stated in 5 and 6 below, the following procedure shall prevail. 1. Lateral voluntary transfers from current employees shall be by classification seniority from within the same classification in which the opening occurs. 2. Promotional opportunities shall be filled from within the Career Progression Series by seniority within a Career Progression Series from qualified applicants who apply. 3. If it is determined that no current employees who applied from the same Career Progression Series are qualified, the District shall offer the position to current qualified bargaining unit employees from a different Career Progression Series by District seniority. If no such qualified candidate exists, the Board may seek outside candidates. 4. All positions filled by voluntary transfers or promotions shall have a fifteen (15) work day probationary period. Either the Board or employee may decide to terminate the probationary period and, in either event, the employee shall return to the employee’s previous classification and location without loss of seniority, pay or reprisal. Such decision by the Board is not subject to the grievance procedure. A substitute shall be placed in the employee’s previous position up to the maximum probationary period. 5. Clerical Series/Principal’s Secretary A Principal shall have discretion to select his or her secretary without regard to the above rules, provided, however, the Principal shall state in writing the qualities that he or she is seeking, which qualities shall not be unreasonable. All inside candidates will be interviewed. This provision shall supersede the displacement provisions in Article 6.01(B).
