Mid-Year Vacancies. If a vacancy occurs after the 35th day of instruction it will be considered a temporary vacancy until the end of that school year. The vacancy will be posted so staff may request a transfer. A response to the request for transfer will be made within ten (10) school days of the closing of the posting, however the teacher may not move into the vacant position until the beginning of the next school year. In the meantime, a temporary employee will be hired to fill the vacancy until the end of the school year. Under special circumstances, the Superintendent may determine that it is in the best interest of the district to allow the teacher to transfer to the new assignment during the school year. In this situation, the KEA president shall be consulted prior to the start of the new assignment.

Mid-Year Vacancies. The Association recognizes that when vacancies occur during the school year it may be difficult to fill them from within the District without undue interruption to the existing instructional program. If the Superintendent in his reasonable judgment so determines, such a vacancy may be filled on a temporary or tentative basis until the end of the current semester, at which time the position will be considered vacant.
