Consideration of Voluntary Transfer Requests Before Public Posting. When a new position is created or an existing position becomes vacant, the District shall first offer the opportunity to transfer to unit members serving in the same position in the District, unless special circumstances apply according to 12.3.3 (e) above. All vacancies shall be posted by the District for not less than (4) working days at all work locations before being filled. Any eligible unit member may apply for a transfer to that position by filing a written notice with the Personnel Department of the District. Before starting leave, inter- session, or summer recess, a unit member may request the personnel Department to notify him or her of any posted vacancies which occur during such periods. Nothing shall prevent the District from advertising for applicants as soon as a vacancy is known. This section shall be inapplicable in cases where there is a former employee on a 39-month reemployment list who was laid off from the classification in which the vacancy exists.
