Teacher Retraining. In order to provide appropriate educational programs for students, the district may find it necessary to retrain a teacher in a subject area for which the teacher is not currently licensed. If a teacher complies with a district initiated teacher-retraining request, the superintendent is authorized to approve some or all of the following as appropriate:
Teacher Retraining. At the request of the Union President to the Superintendent, the Union and the Administration shall meet at least once each year to discuss the prospects for a reduction in force of tenured teachers and to identify opportunities for tenured teachers to retrain to avoid the reduction in force. Tenured teachers so identified, who would be dismissed in a reduction in force, may pursue an opportunity to retrain for positions that are open. A committee consisting of two administrators and the two Union representatives appointed by the Superintendent and Union President, respectively, will work to determine the teachers to be retrained in light of potential staffing needs. Tenured teachers identified above shall have the same opportunity as other teachers to have their college tuition reimbursed through the guidelines set forth in Article X, Section 15 - Professional Growth, Graduate Courses.
