Factors Affecting Retention. In those instances where seniority is involved (i.e., comparable evaluations) employees with longer continuous service will be retained in preference to those with less continuous service certified to teach in the same field. In those circumstances, the order of preference for retention among or between employees with the same length of continuous service, certified to teach in the same field, and equally qualified for retention, shall be based in the following sequence in the event of a tie, on (1) the dates of the letters sent (i.e., date on the letter or time stamp of email sent, whichever is earlier) by the Assistant Superintendent – Human Resources and Operations offering employment positions to the affected employees, (2) date of signature on intent letter, (3) date of application for position hired into, (4) degree level at date of hire including additional hours, and (5) the teacher whose birthday is closest to January 1. The employees with the earlier dates of employment offers as indicated on the aforementioned letters shall be retained.
