Contact union advocate, Delfina Medina, in the Financial Aid office for details on how your high school graduate can apply for these scholarships. An employee who has been placed in a vacant position by operation of paragraph 9.3.2.1 or paragraph 9.3.2.2 shall serve a 90-day trial period in the new classification. This Trial Period section of the contract was created by the union and the district to deal with the situation of an employee that has passed the probationary period in one position on campus and, at some future date, attained a new position with the district. The reference to paragraphs 9.3.2.1 and 9.3.2.2 deals with successfully being hired for another position. The confusion is caused by the term probationary.
Probation is a specific legal term that is defined in the Education Code.
You can only be on probation following your initial hiring by the district. After you become a permanent employee, you can no longer be subjected to the terms and conditions associated with a probationary employee. This is important because, as a probationary employee, you can be terminated for no reason, simply at the district's discretion. It is understood and agreed that a probationary employee may be separated from employment at any time during the probation period at the District's discretion. Sad, but true.
