Program Elimination. The Association shall be notified in writing of any proposed elimination or suspension of a program to which unit members are assigned at the time a Program Elimination Procedure is initiated.

Program Elimination. The Employer will provide six (6) months advance notice in writing of plans to eliminate a program or programs after prior consultation with the Faculty Council. In the event of program eliminations, the Employer is not required to include the program (and classes, if any) in the published schedule.
Program Elimination. 1. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the elimination of any satellite program.
Program Elimination. When a total educational program is eliminated by action of the Board, contracts of affected members shall be suspended in accordance with the procedures contained in Section H. 3. of this article. Said suspension procedures would include bumping rights when the educational program is a part of the overall academic program (licensure/certification required). For the purposes of this section, a total educational program shall mean all courses contained within or a part of a given discipline, i.e., English, Mathematics, world languages, elementary education, special education, etc. It is understood that when a total program that has been eliminated is to be reinstated such reinstatement would involve the total program that was in existence prior to said elimination. Recall rights as are specified in Section H. 3. of this article, would be available to all affected member(s) whose contracts were suspended and who were previously employed in an educational program that was a part of the academic program of the District. Those members who were employed in the extracurricular area(s) would have recall rights to the activity/responsibility(ies) for which he/she was previously involved. ARTICLE VI - PROFESSIONAL STAFF EVALUATION Purpose A qualified, well-trained and highly-motivated staff is essential for the success of all students. A comprehensive and collaborative evaluation system is a means to achieve that end. This teacher evaluation process, based on the Standards for Ohio Educators, is designed to refine teacher practice as well as to acknowledge individual strengths. This can best be achieved in a supportive and cooperative atmosphere where administrators use the Descriptions of Practice to provide specific feedback to support teachers in their professional development. Therefore, the emphasis in evaluation should be on continued improvement and professional growth for all employees. The differences in individuals and in teaching styles are beneficial and should be preserved within reasonable parameters. Also, academic freedom for teachers and differences in educational philosophy must not be inhibited by the evaluation process.
Program Elimination. 1. The Board agrees that provision should be made to give a teacher whose contract was terminated or suspended because of a program elimination an opportunity to be reemployed. As a result, the Board will agree to the following statement: “When a program is eliminated and a teacher is notified and dismissed because of this program elimination, then that teacher must be offered the opportunity to resume his or her position if that program or a similar program for which he or she is qualified and certified is later reinstated or begun. The reinstated teacher shall be placed on the existing salary schedule commensurate with training and teacher experience within legal limits of the law. A one-time refusal by the affected teacher will void future contact. The requirement to offer a teacher a contract under the above described circumstances ceases after two (2) years from date that respective teacher’s contract is terminated or suspended.”
