Special Education Changes. In the event special education staffing does not require involuntary transfer of staff, then positions shall be posted and filled in accordance with this Agreement. In the event the staffing does require involuntary transfer, then the District shall identify those persons who shall be involuntarily transferred. These persons’ names shall be placed on a list in seniority order. The District shall also identify those special education positions which are available for placement. All open positions shall be made known to each employee on the involuntary transfer list. Each employee will then have the opportunity to make known to the District their placement preferences. The District shall place employees giving consideration to student/program need and seniority, provided that employees shall first have retreat rights into positions which they previously held. If no retreat rights exist, that employee shall be placed on the bottom of the involuntarily transfer list and placed only after all other employees with retreat rights are placed. (For the purpose of enhancing understanding of this section, an example of such movements is provided in Exhibit 2 of this Agreement.) Paraeducators assigned in writing to assist a specific student may be reassigned to move with the student to another building without the assignment being considered an involuntary transfer; however, the paraeducator’s preferences shall be considered.
