Common use of Contracted Positions Clause in Contracts

Contracted Positions. a. Whenever a contract position is vacant, the contract will be offered to the most senior hourly teacher in the program who holds the appropriate licensure and has experience in the applicable content area. The position will be offered in order by seniority until accepted. If not accepted, then the position will be posted as a contract position. Only full time, 0.9 FTE or 0.8 FTE contracts will be offered, and the District will not be required to offer contracts less than 0.8 FTE. When an hourly position is converted over to a contracted position or new contract positions are created in a program (ECFE, School Readiness, other early childhood, or ABE), it will be offered to the current staff in that program based on their seniority. b. When an hourly teacher takes a contracted position, that teacher will keep their sick leave balance, pro-rated based on their assignment as an hourly teacher. Thereafter, the teacher will continue to accrue sick leave as a contract teacher. c. If an hourly teacher maintains a fiscal year FTE status of 0.80 or greater for two consecutive years, that teacher must be offered a temporary contracted position, subject to funding and enrollment, for the following year. The temporary contract may continue for up to a maximum of three (3) years or until the contracted position referenced in Subd. 4.a is vacant, whichever occurs sooner. d. The total number of duty days in any full year 1.0 contracted position must reflect a minimum of 170 duty days and can be changed on an annual basis to reflect additional days, depending on the needs of the program, and as determined by supervisor.
