NON-RENEWAL OF CONTRACTS. Section A. Reduction in Force (Revised April, 2004) As a result of authority granted to the Board of Education by the Kansas Constitution and Kansas statutes, the Board has the responsibility of determining compositions of the professional staff necessary to implement and maintain educational programs of the District. From time to time, as a result of decreasing enrollment, limited financial resources, changes in educational programs, or other circumstances, it may be necessary to reduce the number of professional employees employed by the school District. A decision to reduce professional staff will, in all cases, remain with the sole discretion and judgement of the Board of Education. The Board of Education may retain any professional employee who it deems necessary to staff all programs of the District, including curricular, co-curricular, and extra-curricular programs of the District. It is the policy of this school District to use normal attrition of staff; i.e., resignations, retirement, leaves of absence, as the first means of achieving a reduction in professional staff. However, in certain cases, normal attrition may not be sufficient to achieve the necessary reduction of professional staff. In the event that further reduction of professional staff is necessary, it shall be accomplished in a fair and orderly manner as provided in this ARTICLE.
