REDUCTION AND RECALL. Section A: General Paragraph 1: The teaching staff may be reduced by layoff at the discretion of the Board. Paragraph 2: The greatest possible reduction in teaching staff shall be accom- plished through attrition.
REDUCTION AND RECALL. In the event Employees are to be laid off, the following shall be applied:
REDUCTION AND RECALL. A. Definition The term “reduction” as used herein refers to action by the Board of Directors in reducing the number of certificated employees in the District due to economic conditions resulting from levy failures or a significant loss in actual local/state/federal revenues. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed as an abrogation of the rights of any certificated employee, pursuant to RCW 28A.405.210 or RCW 28A.405.300 or any of the District’s responsibilities under the cited statutes. Prior to May 15, the Board of Directors shall determine whether the financial resources of the District will be adequate to permit the District to maintain its educational programs and services substantially at the same level for the following school year. If it is determined that such financial resources are not reasonably assured for the following school year, then non-continuing certificated staff will be identified. In the event of reduction, the District shall provide written notice of non-renewal to all affected certificated employees and the Association, on or before May 15, for reductions to be implemented at the end of the current school year. Where revenues are categorical and depend on actual expenditures rather than a budgeted amount, every effort will be made to maintain these programs to the limit of their categorical support. (e.g., vocational education, federally supported programs, lunchroom, etc.).
REDUCTION AND RECALL. (Reference Common Agreement Articles 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5)
REDUCTION AND RECALL. 16.1 For purposes of layoff and recall, terms of this Article will supersede any other conflicting provisions of this contract.
REDUCTION AND RECALL. A. Before the Board makes any necessary reduction in personnel, it will first inform and discuss with the Association the effects of such reduction. This will include, but not be limited to, such problems as the criteria used for the determination of who will be laid off and the re-employment rights of such persons.
REDUCTION AND RECALL. A. When it has publicly been established that there is an economic need that would require a reduction of operating expenditures, the Board shall make every effort to reduce expenditures in areas other than personnel first. If, however, there is a necessity for reduction of employees, those who hold temporary certification or less than a regular certification or who are on annual contract will be laid off first. The Board agrees to give a thirty-day (30) written notice of reduction to teachers affected. If further reduction is necessary and should a choice have to be made from among personnel who are on continuing contract or professional services contract, as to who should be retained, the principal and Superintendent shall use the following criteria in selecting those who are to be retained: seniority in the District and areas of certification. Laid off employees shall be reinstated in inverse order of their being laid off if qualified to fill the vacancies. No new or substitute appointments may be made while there are laid off teachers available who are qualified to fill the vacancies. No transfer of staff shall be used to prevent reinstatement of laid off teachers.
REDUCTION AND RECALL. A. An employee may be laid-off by the Board in the manner herein provided when there is lack of work or lack of funds and reduction in personnel is necessary.
REDUCTION AND RECALL. If the following procedures involve an employee in a specialized teaching assistant position, then the administration and the Association will jointly determine how they will be affected by the reduction/recall.
REDUCTION AND RECALL. A. The Board reserves the sole discretion to determine the necessity to reduce and/or recall employees.
