The District will accept applications for position vacancies from active, regular District employees, provided they meet the minimum qualifications of the job classification and follow the procedure for application as outlined on the job vacancy posting. The District shall determine the scope and area of recruitment for a vacancy that will yield the most qualified candidate pool. When there is a temporary vacancy due to an internal organizational change, the District may assign an employee to fill the position on an interim basis. Filling a temporary vacancy on an interim basis is not subject to this article’s procedures until the hiring Department manager approves a job vacancy posting for the position in question.
