REDUCTION OF CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEES. A. The number of employees affected by the reduction in force will be kept to a minimum by not employing replacements insofar as practical, of employees who resign, retire, or otherwise vacate a position. B. The Board shall determine in which classification or classifications the layoff should occur and the number of employees to be laid off. C. If employees within a classification are reduced in hours, the reduction will occur by seniority (i.e. if it is determined that three (3) employees should be reduced by one (1) hour each, the three (3) least senior employees will receive the reduction). D. In the classification of layoff, the employees on probation shall be laid off before any employee in that classification employed under a continuing or permanent status is laid off. Any employee affected by reduction in force shall have the right to displace/bump the least senior employee within the particular job classification in which he/she works. However, if no position is available within this job classification, then said affected employee who has worked in another classification may bump the least senior employee in that classification provided he/she has greater seniority. 1) Any employee displaced by bumping shall have bumping rights throughout the classification series on the basis of seniority. 2) Non-bargaining unit employees may bump back into the unit in the event of a layoff, job abolishment, or non-renewal; however, the bumping employee may only bump the least senior employee in the classification in which he/she had previously worked. E. Classification series for layoff and recall shall be as follows:
