Common use of Early Education Department Substitute Pool Clause in Contracts

Early Education Department Substitute Pool. To minimize the adverse impact of budget reductions and to provide an available source of substitute employees in lieu of layoffs, the District shall continue the substitute pool. A substitute pool of up to seventeen (17) shall be established as a separate employment component of the District, administered by the central office. Recruitment will be on a voluntary basis, with affirmative action and seniority used if there are more candidates than sub pool vacancies. An existing employee placed in the pool shall continue to work the same number of hours he/she did prior to pool placement; all other benefits held prior to pool placement shall continue. Unit members displaced into the pool because of layoffs shall remain in said pool until a vacant Early Education position having the same number of assigned hours becomes available. Upon said availability, the pool employee shall be required to accept said vacant position, or face termination.
