The notification shall include the number of positions to be decreased. The discussion shall also include the rationale for the decreases. 36.3.3 When the District has determined that a justifiable decrease in the number of teaching positions within a particular endorsement areas has occurred or is about to occur, the District agrees to make reasonable efforts to avoid canceling the teaching contracts of non-probationary teachers within such endorsement area through consideration of the following means: retirement, resignations, extended leaves-of-absence, changes of assignment, teacher-initiated transfers and District- initiated transfers.
