“If a reduction in force requires a teacher to be reassigned to another school, neither the sending nor the receiving school shall be obligated to alter the school’s master schedule (nor split a class) in order to accommodate the reassignment.  This may mean that the least senior person in the seniority category being reduced will not be the person receiving the reduction-in-force.  Instead, the least senior person that will enable the reassignment to occur will be the person who is reduced within the seniority category”...
