REDUCTION OF STAFF. 34.01 When the Company proposes to terminate (other than for cause) an employee as a result of a decision to reduce the number of Permanent Employees:
REDUCTION OF STAFF. Involuntary transfers to reduce staff may be made at the end of the school year based upon enrollment estimates and during the year based upon actual enrollments. The supervisor shall determine the level (TK-3, 4-6), the subject area, or program to be reduced. Elementary site administrators shall poll their staffs as to qualifications for an interest in changing levels.
REDUCTION OF STAFF. A. The term “seniority” in this Article shall mean length of service as a bus driver with the District.
REDUCTION OF STAFF. This article shall not apply to less-than half-time employees or employees that have not successfully completed six (6) consecutive months of service in a bargaining unit position.
REDUCTION OF STAFF. Full-Time Seniority Employees The necessity for layoffs or reduction of staff shall be in the sole discretion of the Company. Notice of layoffs, other than day-to-day layoffs, shall be given to the Union. When a layoff or reduction of staff is made, the principles of seniority will be applied on the fol- lowing basis:
REDUCTION OF STAFF. A. In the event staff reduction becomes necessary, the District will release personnel in the inverse order of their length of service but may give consideration to special qualifications and experience, and minority employment. In the absence of such considerations and exemptions, layoff shall be based on seniority. The DCU shall be provided the opportunity to consult with the District when the necessity of such reductions is determined. Whenever possible, two (2) weeks written notice of layoff shall be given to each employee to be laid off under the provisions of this Article. Persons given such notice may not exercise the paid leave provisions of Article 16, except for sick leave when supported by a doctor’s statement, quarantine, mandatory court appearances or jury duty. This provision applies only to regular employees.
REDUCTION OF STAFF. 15.0 In the event that the board determines to reduce staff, employees will be laid off under the following procedures:
REDUCTION OF STAFF. A. When by reason of decreased enrollment of pupils, return to duty of regular teachers after leaves of absence, or by reason of suspension of schools or territorial changes affecting the District or for financial reasons, the Employer decides that it will be necessary to reduce the number of Teachers, it may make a reasonable reduction. In making such reduction, the Employer shall proceed to suspend contracts in accordance with the recommendation of the Superintendent who shall, within each certification/licensure affected, give preference to Teachers on continuing contracts. Prior to proceeding with an anticipated staff reduction, the Association President shall be notified by the Superintendent of the Board's intent to consider a staff reduction. A meeting shall be held between representatives of the Board and representatives of the Association to review the appropriate data indicating a need for a reduction in staff. The parties shall discuss why the reduction is necessary, what areas of certification/licensure may be affected, the possible extent of the anticipated reduction and the possible effects of the reduction.
REDUCTION OF STAFF. As a result of authority granted to the Board by the Kansas Constitution and Kansas statutes, the Board has the responsibility of determining composition of the professional staff necessary to implement and maintain educational programs of the District. From time to time, as the result of decreasing enrollment, limited financial resources, changes in educational programs, or other circumstances, it may be necessary to reduce the number of professional employees employed by the District. A decision to reduce professional staff will, in all cases, remain within the sole discretion and judgment of the Board. The Board may retain any professional employee whom it deems necessary to staff all the programs of the District, including curricular, co-curricular, and extra-curricular programs of the District. It is the policy of this District to use normal attrition of the staff; i.e., resignations, retirement, leaves of absence, as the first means of achieving a reduction in professional staff. In the event that further reduction of professional staff is necessary, it shall be accomplished in a fair and orderly manner as provided in this policy.
REDUCTION OF STAFF. A. In the event that the Board decides to reduce the number of employees through layoff of employment, or to reduce the number of teachers in a given subject area, field or program, or eliminate or consolidate a position or positions, the Board shall lay off last those teachers with a Michigan Teaching Certificate or appropriate credential having longest service in the District and who are qualified to teach the positions remaining.
