Closing a school: Unit members affected will be considered involuntary transfers. c. Major Program Changes (i.e., year-round school, magnet school) will follow the involuntary process. d. Positions resulting from a reconfiguration which are new to a site shall be filled through the transfer process as described in this article.

If not enough unit members opt into the pool, those unit members with the least district seniority will be selected.
