Notwithstanding O Clause Samples

Notwithstanding O. R.C. 3313.53, the Board may employ the most qualified applicant for a supplemental contract position. The Board may post the positions both internally and externally at the same time. The Board will interview all bargaining unit members who apply for a position. The Board will consider all candidates simultaneously, whether they are currently employed by the Board or not. The Board will give preferential consideration to qualified bargaining unit members. Nevertheless, the Board will hire the most qualified candidate without going through the procedures set forth in O.R.C. 3313.53. This Section expressly supersedes and replaces O.R.C. 3313.53.
