Common use of Other Considerations Clause in Contracts

Other Considerations. 1. No unit member new to the district will be employed until all unit members on the callback list have been reassigned. Exceptions to this will occur when there is no unit member on the callback list certified/licensed for a vacancy or when all unit members on the callback list reject a vacancy. 2. Suspended unit members shall have the right to pay premiums for hospitalization, dental and other insurance benefits as per the provisions of C.O.B.R.A. for a period of eighteen (18) months following the effective date of suspension. Group life insurance coverage may be continued at the member’s expense in accordance with the District’s life insurance policy in effect at the time. 3. During a period of suspension, a unit member’s seniority with the district will be continued; however, a unit member will not be granted experience credit on the salary schedule for the period of time the contract is suspended. 4. A unit member whose contract expires during a period of the contract suspension because of a RIF will be eligible for contract renewal as follows: a. A unit member who is suspended for the duration of the contract and who teaches less than one (1) semester on the contract will have his/her contract renewed for the same length as the expiring contract. b. A unit member who teaches more than one (1) semester during a contract and is suspended for the balance will be eligible for contract renewal pursuant to the District evaluation procedures. 5. The parties agree that these procedures apply only to the suspension of contracts as provided under Ohio Revised Code 3319.
