Loss of Position. A. One of the reasons secretaries shall lose their positions occurs when they become physically or mentally unable to perform their duties satisfactorily. However, a secretary may request a health leave as provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, rather than terminate employment. The Board may require a physician's statement, or, at its expense, require an appropriate examination to determine a secretary's fitness.
Loss of Position. If an inclusion paraprofessional loses her/his position due to a change in the student’s status (i.e. family move, IEP changes) she/he will have the opportunity to bump the least senior Class A position. Then the Class A paraprofessional who was bumped may exercise her/his bumping rights and bump the least senior Class B paraprofessional. The paraprofessional who is left without a position will then be subject to the layoff provisions of the agreement.
Loss of Position. If a paraprofessional loses her/his position due to extraordinary circumstances, (i.e. family moves, IEP changes, etc.) or if that position has been eliminated or reduced by thirty (30) minutes or more per day, she/he will have the option of voluntarily agreeing to the reduction in hours or having the opportunity to bump the least senior paraprofessional with equivalent or comparable hours, provided he/she has the required qualifications for the position. Then the paraprofessional who was bumped may exercise her/his bumping rights and bump the least senior paraprofessional with equivalent or comparable hours. The paraprofessional who is left without a position will then be subject to the layoff provisions of the agreement.
