Custodial staff from the school ending operations
automatically
move to the new location?

operations will be surplused.
Q. When the two
schools merge, what options will cafeteria
and custodial staff have if
they want to go to the merged school?
A. Cafeteria and custodial staff will be reassigned
to vacant positions or given the opportunity
to select positions based on seniority. Staff
will also have the option of applying for vacant
positions in the district for which they are
qualified.

at the school ending operations has more seniority
than the staff at the merged school, will the
senior employee assume the position at the
merged school?

will be surplused.
Q. As a surplused employee,
do I have an automatic right to access positions
with additional hours,
number of months, or at a higher salary grade?
A. No. Surplused employees are only entitled
to comparable positions (hours, number of months,
salary grade, etc.). However, surplused employees
may apply for positions with increased hours,
number of months and a higher salary grade.
Final selections will be made based on experience
and qualifications.
Q. When will I have an opportunity
to bid on positions like mine that are vacant
and/or
be considered for other positions?
A. Positions will not be posted for bid (based
on availability) until surplused employees
have been reassigned to vacant positions. Surplused
employees may apply for other positions in
the district for which they are qualified.

What happens to my salary if I apply for and
secure a position at a higher salary grade?
A. Your salary will be adjusted to the higher
salary grade based on the district’s
promotion guidelines.

salary if I apply for and secure a position
at a lower salary grade?
A. Your salary will be adjusted to the salary
closest to your current salary on the new
salary schedule.
Q. What happens if there
are not enough positions available for
all of the surplused employees
to be placed?
A. The District will make a decision regarding
the need for layoffs. If layoffs do occur,
the final decisions will be based on district
needs, qualifications and seniority of employment.
