REDUCTION IN TEACHING STAFF. 1. In the event of conditions necessitating a reduction in the number of teachers employed by the Board, the following procedure shall be followed:
REDUCTION IN TEACHING STAFF. 25.07.1 The BOARD may reduce the teaching staff positions because of financial reasons, decreased enrollment of pupils, return to duty of regular Professional Staff Members after leaves of absence or by reason of suspension of school, reorganization, or territorial changes affecting the District. In making such reduction, the BOARD will proceed to suspend contracts in accordance with the recommendation of the Superintendent of Schools, who will, within each teaching field affected, give preference to Professional Staff Members on continuing contracts and to Professional Staff Members who have greater seniority.
REDUCTION IN TEACHING STAFF. 534 In the event the board decides that the size of the teaching staff must be reduced, these guidelines shall be 535 followed. 536 Reductions in licensed staff may be required due to decreasing enrollments, changes in financial support, 537 changing programs or other factors and shall be in accordance with the educational goals established by the 538 board. When possible, the normal procedures of resignations, retirements, and other methods of attrition of 539 staff will be used to accomplish such reductions. 540 If the necessary staff reductions cannot be accomplished through normal attrition, the superintendent will 541 recommend to the board the names of those teachers to be non-renewed. Dates of notification shall correspond 542 with those of the continuing contract law. 543 The process of selecting teachers for non-renewal will also involve consideration of (not listed in order of 544 importance): performance evaluations, skills, contribution to extra-curricular programs, educational goals and 545 needs of the district, areas of licensure which may be required to maintain school district accreditation, special 546 qualifications that may require specific training and/or experience, and state and federal regulations which 547 may mandate certain employment practices. 548 If two or more teachers have the same years of service, licensure, qualifications, training, skills, and 549 evaluations in a teaching area deemed necessary to fulfill the district's educational goals, the superintendent 550 will recommend the tenured teacher, if any, for the position in question. If all of the teachers have the same 551 number of years of service, licensure, qualifications, training, skills, and evaluations and all are tenured, the 552 teacher(s) who best meet(s) the needs of the district considering the factors outlined above will be retained. 553 Where a determination based on the foregoing criteria cannot be made, length of uninterrupted service 554 shall be considered as an additional factor and part-time or non-tenured teachers shall have the lowest priority 555 for retention. 556 Those teachers who have not been reemployed as a result of a reduction-in-force shall be considered as 557 "released with honor" and shall be considered for reemployment with the district for a period of two years 558 following the date of non-renewal when vacancies occur for which they are qualified. Upon reemployment, the 559 teacher shall resume the position on the salary schedule a...
