Order of Dismissal. A. Among Teachers qualified to hold a position, Teachers must be dismissed in the order of their groupings, with Teachers in Group 1 dismissed first and Teachers in Group 4 dismissed last. 1. Within Group 1, the sequence of dismissal is at the sole discretion of the District. 2. Within Group 2, the sequence of dismissal is based on the average of the last two summative performance evaluation ratings, if two ratings are available, or the Teacher’s last summative performance evaluation rating if only one rating is available. The average is calculated using the following numeric values: 4 for "Excellent"; 3 for "Proficient" or "Satisfactory"; 2 for “Needs Improvement”; and 1 for “Unsatisfactory”. Teachers with the lowest average summative performance rating shall be dismissed first. Teachers with the same average summative performance evaluation rating shall be dismissed based on seniority, with Teachers that have shorter length of continuing service with the District dismissed first. 3. Within Groups 3 and 4, the sequence of dismissal is based on certification, qualifications, and seniority, with Teachers that have shorter length of continuing service with the District dismissed first. This Article is not evidence that the Board waives any rights it may have to determine the qualifications of a Teacher to perform the duties of a specific position, or that the Association agrees that the Board may make such determination beyond the requirements of the School Code and applicable rules and regulations of the State Board of Education.
