the incumbents in the positions shall be entitled to serve in the new
positions in their status as of the reclassification, i.e., permanent or
probationary.

adjustment of any position or class of positions shall not be
considered a demotion.

abolish a position or a class of positions for lack of work or lack of
funds, the District shall notify CSEA in writing and the parties shall
meet and negotiate all matters within the scope of representation.
