Seniority

N. Seniority
 
1. Seniority for tenured Teachers shall accrue by reverting to the date of hire (defined by the date of Board action).
 
2. Ties in seniority between tenured Teachers with the same date of hire shall be resolved by pro-rated seniority as a result of work history factors, such as leave of absences (excluding FMLA and other leaves of absences of 60 work days or less in duration) job-share participation, or part-time service in a certified position. If these factors do not resolve the tie, the time of the date of hire shall be used. If a time has not been noted then the tie shall be resolved by lottery. Such lottery shall involve both Administration and CTC representatives.
 
3. The District shall supply the CTC President with a seniority list prior to February 1st of each school year.
 
4. An employee who leaves the CTC but remains employed by the District shall retain all seniority earned while in the CTC. Teachers who hold a certificated position(s) in the District, including administrative position(s), shall accrue seniority and years of service while in such positions.
 
5. Once a Teacher has reached tenure, he/she will remain tenured unless there is a break in contractual continued service. A change of employment status to or from part-time does not constitute a break in contractual continued service unless by mutual agreement.
