Common use of Staff Reduction Within a Building Clause in Contracts

Staff Reduction Within a Building. When employment cannot be provided in a particular building, the reduction in staff shall be based upon (a) the needs of the school system as determined by the Employer, (b) the affected employee’s educational preparation and experience, and (c) the relative skill, ability, and competence of the employee for which employment cannot be provided. When those employees for whom employment cannot be provided in a particular building have qualifications considered equal, the employee with the least district seniority within the building shall be declared excess and transferred first. Employer-initiated transfers that result from this practice shall be conducted in accordance with the contract provisions expressly associated with Employer- initiated transfers contained in Section C.1 of Article X: Transfer Procedure.
