Common use of POSITION SHARING Clause in Contracts

POSITION SHARING. Section 1. Teachers may volunteer and the School District may, in its sole discretion, agree that two or more Teachers may share a position. Section 2. Teachers sharing a position shall be entitled to the leave benefits of Article VIII on a pro rata basis. Section 3. Salaries for Teachers sharing positions shall be prorated to reflect the fraction of the position shared. Increments and lane changes for Teachers sharing a position shall be administered as if such Teachers were teaching full time and shall be appropriately prorated for time worked. Section 4. Teachers who volunteer and are accepted for position sharing shall accrue seniority under Article XVIII if the teaching assignment is the equivalent of a half time position. Section 5. Teachers who formerly taught full time and are eligible for protection under the reduction in staff article (Article XVIII) shall be entitled to revert to full time status in any future school year, (unless, pursuant to Article XVIII, this would result in the layoff of a more senior qualified Teacher), by giving written notice of this intention to the Personnel Director by February 1st prior to the school year of the intended return.
