Where a teacher on a Limited Term contract becomes employed under a General contract, without a break in service, then the length of service for determining layoff will be retroactive to the start date of the first continuous Limited Term contract signed with the Portage la Prairie School Division.
For the purpose of this clause, a continuous Limited Term contract will be employment with the division under the Limited Term contract where there is no break in service between one Limited Term contract and another Limited Term contract or General contract. For further clarity, the summer, winter and spring breaks will not constitute a break in service provided that the teacher has a summer, winter or spring break and a Limited Term or General contract in force and effect on the first teaching day following that summer, winter or spring break.
