STAFF REDUCTION AND RECALL. A. Not later than May 15th of each year, or if the omnibus appropriations act has not passed the legislature by May 15th, then no later than June 15th, the Board of Directors shall determine whether the financial resources of the District will be adequate to permit the District to maintain its educational program and services substantially at the same level for the next year. If the Board determines that the financial resources are not reasonably sufficient for the following school year, the Board shall adopt a modified educational program and identify those certificated employees who will be retained to implement such a modified program and certificated employees, if any, whose contract will not be renewed.
B. In adopting a reduced educational program which will require reduction, modification or elimination of positions involving certificated employees, the certificated employees required to implement the modified or reduced educational programs or services shall be selected as hereinafter provided:

In an effort to eliminate unnecessary non-renewals or involuntary terminations, reasonable effort shall be made to ascertain the number of certificated positions which will be open as a result of (a.) voluntary or mandatory retirements, (b.) normal resignations, (c.) other transfers, and (d.) leaves of absence.
2. Certificated employees retained shall possess valid Washington State certificates and endorsements as may be required of the position being filled.
3. Certificated employees will be retained for available positions on the basis of seniority (years of experience in public school teaching within the state of Washington), as long as the employee meets the needs of the District’s modified or reduced educational program. To meet the needs of such a program, an employee must possess one of the following qualifications:
a) Able to document that the necessary endorsement will be obtained prior to the first day of the school year for the succeeding school year as established by the school calendar.
b) If seniority rankings for a given position are equal, the preference will be given to employees the farthest to the right in horizontal placement on the current salary schedule, if still equal, then preference will be given to the employee with the most in-district seniority. If after such consideration employees are still equally ranked, the position will be filled by administrative evaluation.
c) If it is necessary to give notice of non-renewal to employee...
