Reduction in Teachers. 13.1 SENIORITY - DEFINITION As used herein, seniority in District 58 shall mean the most recent period of continuous employment in and for District 58 as a teacher. Continuous employment shall not be deemed interrupted by any leave of absence, but any period of unpaid leave in excess of thirty (30) teacher employment days shall not be included in the computation of seniority in the district. Less than full-time tenured service shall be computed on a pro rata basis for the purposes of seniority.
Reduction in Teachers. 14.1 If the Board determines that a reduction in the number of teachers employed is necessary, or that a particular type of teaching service should be discontinued, the Board shall remove teachers from within the category of position to be reduced or discontinued, based on each teachers’ placement in 1 of 4 performance evaluation groups in the “sequence of honorable dismissal list.” Teachers shall be honorably dismissed in group order (i.e., 1-4); with teachers in Group 1 the first to be honorably dismissed and teachers in Group 4 the last to be honorably dismissed. From amongst those teachers in Group 1, the District shall have the discretion to honorably dismiss in any sequence. Within Group 2, the sequence of dismissal shall be based upon the average performance evaluation ratings, with the teachers with the lowest average performance evaluation rating dismissed first. In the event two or more teachers in Group 2 have an identical average evaluation rating, the teacher with a shorter length of continuing service (i.e., less seniority) shall be honorably dismissed first. Within Groups 3 or 4, the teacher with a shorter length of continuing service (i.e., less seniority) shall be honorably dismissed first. If seniority between two teachers is identical, then the teacher with the least amount of educational credit will be released first. The teacher(s) with the least amount of education shall be first released.
Reduction in Teachers. 3.1 In the event the reduction in force of certified teachers cannot be accomplished through other means, the procedure for reduction in force is as follows:
Reduction in Teachers. Before the Board makes any reduction in personnel, it shall notify the President of the Association in writing of its intention to do so and, if requested in writing within five (5) calendar days after receipt of the notice, shall meet with a committee of not more than five (5) Association members to explain the reasons for the reduction. All reductions in teachers shall be made in accordance with the Illinois School Code.
Reduction in Teachers. A. If the removal or dismissal of a teacher in contractual continued service results from the decision of the Board to decrease the number of teachers employed by the Board or to discontinue some particular type of teacher service, written notice shall be given to the teacher by regular mail and certified mail or personal delivery with receipt at least forty-five (45) days before the end of the school term, together with a statement of honorable dismissal and the reason therefore. The process will be in accordance with the Illinois School Code, 105.ILCS 5/2412. If the Board has any vacancies for the following school term or within one calendar year from the beginning of the following school term, or for such other recall period specified by the Illinois School Code, the positions thereby becoming available shall be tendered to teachers who are eligible for recall pursuant to the Illinois School Code who have been so removed or dismissed in the reverse order of layoff so far as they are qualified to hold such positions, based on legal qualifications and any other qualifications established in a District job description on or before the May 10 prior to the date of the positions becoming available.
