Rights of Recall. Recall rights shall cease one (1) year after the employee is laid off or if an employee fails to respond to a recall and thereupon such employee shall be deemed separated from employment and shall have no further recall rights.
Rights of Recall a. Any certificated employee whose contract has been terminated shall be considered to have been dismissed with honor and shall, upon request, be provided a letter to that effect.
b. Such employee shall have preferred rights to re-employment for a period of 24 months commencing at the end of the contract year, and the employee shall be recalled on the basis of length of service to the district to any position that he or she is qualified to teach by endorsement or college preparation.
c. Upon re-employment, a recalled employee shall be placed on the salary schedule and provided fringe benefits based on existing district policies and the current negotiated agreement. Any year or years of absence from employment shall not be considered as a year or years of employment by the district.

Rights of Recall a. A CE teacher's full right of recall will be to a vacant position of equal annual hours on the same seniority list occupied by the CE teacher prior to layoff.
b. The District will retain the right to reassign existing CE teachers within the Community Education Program prior to recall so long as no CE teacher with rights of recall to the position is more senior than the CE teacher being reassigned.
c. A CE teacher terminated based on a reduction in force will retain a right for twenty-four (24) calendar months from the effective date of layoff to return to the first vacant position which is less than or equal to the CE teacher’s previous full employment. A CE teacher returned to a position, which is less than the full recall rights of the CE teacher, will not constitute a loss of rights of recall to full employment.

e. A recall refusal to employment in a position other than one which constitutes full rights of recall will not constitute a recall refusal. Acceptance of any position as a CE teacher in the Bloomington Community Education Program regardless of seniority list when the position is equal or greater in annual hours than the CE teacher’s previous position will constitute full recall.
f. After twenty-four (24) calendar months of rights of recall from the effective date of layoff without full return to employment, all rights of recall will expire.
