REDUCTION IN PERSONNEL A. It is hereby specifically recognized that it is within the sole discretion of the Board to reduce its educational program, curriculum and staff and that the procedures set forth in this article shall be used in laying off personnel. When possible, teachers subject to layoff shall be notified of such layoff in writing at least 45 calendar days in advance, but not less than 14 days. The Board or its designee will meet and confer with the Association to discuss the proposed layoff prior to implementation. In addition, from year to year, and when possible, teachers subject to layoff shall be notified of such layoff by the last teacher work day of the year, but not later than June 30th. B. In order to promote an orderly reduction in personnel when the educational program, curriculum or staff is curtailed, the following procedure will be used: 1. Probationary teachers shall be laid off first. A probationary teacher shall not be laid off unless there is a tenure teacher who is certified, qualified, and available to perform the duties of the position the probationary teacher is vacating, or unless the position that the probationary teacher is vacating is being eliminated altogether. 2. If the reduction of personnel is still necessary then tenured teachers in the specific positions being reduced or eliminated shall be laid off on the basis of seniority except as hereinafter provided. Layoffs made pursuant to this section shall be made in the inverse order of seniority, i.e., those with the least seniority are to be laid off first. a. Seniority, for the purposes of this article, shall be defined to mean length of continuous service as a bargaining unit member. Time spent on layoff up to two (2) years shall not be construed as a break in continuous service and seniority shall continue to accrue for that period. The parties agree that District administrators will retain seniority equal to their teaching experience in the Napoleon Community Schools. The District shall prepare and present to the Association a current seniority list of employees prior to October 15th of each year. Accompanying the name of each employee on the list shall be the date of last hire and each employee's certification. b. Relative seniority rankings and initial seniority dates shall be determined according to the following four (4) criteria in the order stated: (1) The first day of work when all teachers were required to report; (2) Date of Board action to hire; (3) Date of employee's signature upon teaching contract;
Conference Telephone Meetings Directors or members of any committee of the Board may participate in a meeting of the Board or such committee by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.
