(i.e.: a driver with a High, Middle and Elementary run bids on a temporary vacancy of the same number of runs, but will be changing their time by 15 minutes, then that driver’s run that is being vacated will of offered to an elementary only driver by seniority before it is offered to a non‐ bargaining unit substitute driver.

New and vacant runs must be posted in the Transportation Department and on the District Website as soon as possible, but no later than three (3) work days after Employee notification of such leave. It will be the Employee’s responsibility and not the Districts to check for postings and make appropriate application.
