The Employer shall post, in the school, a notice of each new position and each vacancy to be filled by teachers/administrators who would come under this agreement at least 10 teaching days before the position or vacancy is to be filled. Concurrently, a copy of such notice shall be sent to the Association. For greater clarity, a vacancy shall mean a position where the incumbent has retired, resigned or been assigned to other duties or terminated and where the Employer has determined that the position is to be filled.
When more than one teacher applies for a vacant position, and the teachers have the necessary training, academic qualifications and experience to fill the position, preference shall be given to the teacher having the greater seniority in accordance with the lay-off article.
