Reduction in Force List Sample Clauses
A Reduction in Force List clause defines the process and criteria for identifying employees who may be subject to layoff or termination during workforce reductions. Typically, this clause outlines how employees are selected for inclusion on the list, such as by seniority, job performance, or specific roles, and may require the employer to provide advance notice or severance benefits to affected individuals. Its core practical function is to ensure transparency and fairness in the layoff process, minimizing disputes and providing a clear framework for both employers and employees during organizational downsizing.

3. During the term of this contract, classroom teachers and non- classroom teachers with summative evaluation ratings of Accomplished, Skilled, or Developing will be considered to have “comparable” evaluation results. A classroom teacher will not be assigned an Ineffective rating for purposes of “comparable” evaluation results until that teacher has two (2) full years of student growth data available for that teacher and received two (2) consecutive years of an ineffective summative rating. A non- classroom teacher’s summative rating is based solely on their overall performance rating.
