REDUCTION IN STAFF 15.1 Procedure According to provisions of Missouri Statute 168.124, the Board of Education may place on leave of absence as many teachers as necessary because of decrease in enrollment, school district reorganization, or financial conditions. Whenever the Board anticipates a reduction in teaching staff, the superintendent or his/her designee will notify the officials of the Association concerning the anticipated reduction in the teaching staff. A meeting between the Association officials and the superintendent or his/her designee will be scheduled for purposes of discussing the proposed reduction in staff within two weeks (2) following the above notification. Individual teachers will not be contacted prior to the above meeting. In placing teachers on leave, the Board shall be governed by the following provisions: a. Teachers placed on leave of absence as herein provided shall be considered to be on "unrequested leave of absence." b. Seniority for the purposes of this reduction shall be defined as continuous full-time, complete years of employment in the school district. Authorized leaves of absence shall not be considered interruptions in service. Seniority date shall be the date of Board approval of the teacher's initial contract with the district. A district-wide seniority list including all areas of certification for each teacher shall be established and kept current. (Definition of official hire date: The most recent uninterrupted continuous full-time employment as a teacher.) c. No permanent teacher shall be placed on unrequested leave of absence while probationary teachers are retained in positions for which a permanent teacher is certified. d. Permanent teachers shall be retained on the basis of merit and qualification. The following criteria will be used to determine merit and qualifications for the purpose of reduction in staff. 1. Educational placement on the salary schedule. 2. Areas of permanent certification. 3. Activities beyond the teaching contract. 4. Related teaching experience. 5. Effectiveness in the field or at the grade level. If one or more teachers are determined to have equal merit and qualifications, those teachers shall be ranked in order of seniority as defined in b., with the more senior teacher to be considered more meritorious and qualified.
Reduction in Hours (a) Reduction in hours shall be based on seniority, providing that affected employees have the qualifications to perform the work that is available and that licensing standards can be maintained. (b) Any regular employee offered a reduction of hours shall have the right to choose layoff as per Article 13.3. (c) Any regular employee offered a reduction of hours shall be given two (2) weeks’ notice of the reduction.
Reduction in scope of agreement for fault 19.1.1 If the Grantee does not comply with an obligation under this Agreement and the Commonwealth believes that the non‐compliance is incapable of remedy, or if the Grantee has failed to comply with a notice to remedy, the Commonwealth may by written notice reduce the scope of the Agreement. 19.1.2 The Grantee agrees, on receipt of the notice of reduction, to: (a) stop or reduce the performance of the Grantee’s obligations as specified in the notice; (b) take all available steps to minimise loss resulting from the reduction; (c) continue performing any part of the Activity or the Agreement not affected by the notice if requested to do so by the Commonwealth; (d) report on, and return any part of the Grant to the Commonwealth, or otherwise deal with the Grant, as directed by the Commonwealth. 19.1.3 In the event of reduction under clause 19.1.1, the amount of the Grant will be reduced in proportion to the reduction in the scope of the Agreement.
REDUCTION IN FORCE A. In any reduction in the bargaining unit as a result of budgetary actions or curriculum and/or administrative organization, every effort will be made to transfer affected teachers to other similar positions within the school system where vacancies exist and for which the affected teachers are certified. B. If no similar positions are available, rehired retirees, provisionally certificated teachers and non- tenured teachers in the subjects and/or grade levels affected will be laid off or separated from the active employment rolls prior to tenured teachers in the same subjects and/or grade levels. If it becomes necessary to lay off tenured teachers, they shall be laid off in the inverse order of their seniority. An appropriate seniority list will be made available for inspection when a tenured teacher has been laid off and disputes a seniority ranking. The seniority list will be developed from the last date of employment and furnished to the Association. If there is a tie, the affected teachers will have seniority calculated as defined in Article I, Section B.7. Teachers on an unpaid leave of absence shall retain accrued seniority. Teachers on military leave, Association leave and on layoff shall continue to accrue seniority during that time. A countywide list of all certificated personnel employed as of July 1 of each year shall be compiled and available upon request of FCTA. The list will indicate name, date of first employment, date of current employment and department and location code. C. Teachers on layoff shall be placed on a priority recall list in accordance with their seniority. The teachers shall be recalled as vacancies become available in accordance with their position on the list and their certification for said vacancies. D. When vacancies become available, the teacher will be notified of the vacancy by phone and email sent to the last known address. The teacher so notified shall notify the responsible administrator, in writing, in not more than ten (10) days after receipt of notification of the vacancy as to whether or not the position will be accepted. The teacher may decline the first offer of employment. If the teacher declines the second offer of a position, reemployment rights shall be forfeited. All teachers shall remain on the priority recall list for a maximum of three (3) years. E. While a layoff continues, no new teachers shall be hired except in those unique circumstances where (a) there are no teachers on the priority recall list qualified to fill the vacancy or (b) all qualified teachers on the priority recall list decline the offer to fill the vacancy. F. Any layoff due to reduction in force shall not be subject to any dismissal procedure required elsewhere in this Agreement. G. Teachers recalled under these provisions shall have restored to them all previously accrued sick leave and personal leave. H. The Board and the Association recognize that appropriate governmental agencies that have jurisdiction may promulgate rulings and/or regulations that may impact this Article. If such rulings or regulations cause any provisions to be in conflict, the parties shall meet within ten (10) days for the purpose of renegotiating only the provision(s) held to be contrary.

In the event of a general cutback or reduction of teaching staff through layoff from employment, the following procedures will be utilized. 1. Teachers not holding a valid Michigan teaching certificate will be laid off first, provided there are certified and qualified teachers to replace and perform all of the needed duties of the laid-off teacher. 2. If reduction is still necessary, then probationary teachers with the least number of continuous years of teaching in the Dexter School System will be laid off first, provided there are remaining certified and qualified teachers to replace and perform all of the needed duties of the laid-off teachers. 3. If further reduction is still necessary, then tenured teachers with the least number of years of continuous teaching experience in the Dexter School System will be laid off first, provided there are certified and qualified teachers to replace and perform all of the needed duties of the laid-off teachers. B. Certified teachers shall be defined as teachers who hold a valid Michigan teaching certificate. C. Qualified teachers shall be defined as teachers who possess a major or minor or have previous teaching experience in the District in the subject matter area to be taught. D.

The first day worked shall commence accrual of service time. E. A seniority list shall be maintained by the District. Teachers shall be ranked in order of seniority. Accompanying the name of each teacher shall be a listing of the teacher's certification endorsement. Said seniority list shall be presented to the Association annually during the month of October for review.

If the employee chooses to vacate the position or does not meet the skills and abilities requirements of the position, the layoff procedure specified in Article 31 of this Agreement applies.
