Common use of Program Reductions Clause in Contracts

Program Reductions. It is understood that the nature of District finances may create the necessity to reduce various elements within the total school program. It is the desire of the Board and the Association to work cooperatively in making recommendations for reductions of the school program. When program reductions ultimately requiring Board action are contemplated by the District, the Superintendent shall notify the Association President and Uniserv Director prior to bringing proposed reductions for formal Board action. Within ten (10) work days of being so notified, the Association shall have the right to request that a meet and confer session be convened between representatives of the Association and representatives designated by the Board. In emergency circumstances the Board may act prior to expiration of the ten (10) work day period. In the latter event, the meet and confer session shall take place, if requested by the Association, and the Board will examine whether any reconsideration of its action is warranted. The Board of Education retains the right to make the final decision with regard to program reductions.
