Common use of Suspension of Limited Contracts Clause in Contracts

Suspension of Limited Contracts. Hard and fast rules cannot be applied in determining the extent to which reductions are necessary or for determining which limited contract support teachers are affected. As reflected in section 22.02, and pursuant to R.C. 3319.17, seniority will play a role in determining the order in which reductions in staff are made when deciding between support teachers who have comparable evaluations. Comparable evaluations will be based upon a rolling average of the final summative ratings up to three years as available. In accomplishing reduction in staff, the concern has been and must continue to be the welfare of the students in the school district. In addition to evaluations, the following criteria will be used to determine which support teachers will be affected by staff reduction, not necessarily in order listed: a. Length of service to Shaker Heights as a support teacher when deciding between support teachers who have comparable evaluations. Service to be determined in the same manner as described for Continuing Contract support teachers. b. Major area of study and certification/licensure and prior experience/assignments in a support teacher position. c. Exceptions to preference for retention based on length of continuous service may be made to ensure the retention of particular skills that are needed, to ensure continued performance of supplemental duty assignments performed in the past by employees with less continuous service, to comply with state and federal laws relating to employment matters, and in consideration of program needs. Other unusual or unanticipated situations also may warrant taking factors other than length of continuous service into account in determining preference for retention.
