2 dismissed first unless an alternative method of determining the
3 sequence of dismissal is established in a collective bargaining
4 agreement or contract between the board and any exclusive
5 bargaining agent and except that this provision shall not
6 impair the operation of any affirmative action program in the
7 district, regardless of whether it exists by operation of law
8 or is conducted on a voluntary basis by the board. If the board
9 has any vacancies for the following school term or within one
10 calendar year from the beginning of the following school term,
11 the positions thereby becoming available within a specific
12 category of position shall be tendered to the employees so
13 removed or dismissed from that category or any other category
14 of position, so far as they are qualified to hold such
15 positions. Each board shall, in consultation with any exclusive
16 employee representative or bargaining agent, each year
17 establish a list, categorized by positions, showing the length
18 of continuing service of each full time educational support
19 personnel employee who is qualified to hold any such positions,
20 unless an alternative method of determining a sequence of
21 dismissal is established as provided for in this Section, in

23 alternative method. Copies of the list shall be distributed to
24 the exclusive employee representative or bargaining agent on or
25 before February 1 of each year. Where an educational support
26 personnel employee is dismissed by the board as a result of a
27 decrease in the number of employees or the discontinuance of
28 the employee's job, the employee shall be paid all earned
29 compensation on or before the third business day following his
30 or her last day of employment.
31     The provisions of this amendatory Act of 1986 relating to
