Continuous service list Clause Samples
Continuous service list a ranking of teachers by continuous service within the area(s) of endorsement and secondarily by qualification. When length of uninterrupted service is a factor for any decision under this policy and two or more teachers have the same length of service in the district, the teachers affected will be ranked on the continuous service list according to when they signed their employment contracts with the district. In the event ties still exist, teachers so affected shall participate in a drawing to determine position of the continuous service list. All teachers so affected and the association shall be notified in writing of the date, time, and place for the drawing and shall have an opportunity to attend. General Grounds for Cancellation of Employment Cancellation of employment may take place when the Board of Education determines that a fiscal exigency exists or a program change is to be made which requires cancellation of one or more teaching positions. Such a decision may be made and any resulting termination may be effected only in accordance with this policy and the accompanying procedures. Board of Education’s Preliminary Determination and Statement Prior to the cancellation of employment of any teacher as a result of a fiscal exigency, the Board will consider other areas of the budget for reduction, as well as potential additional revenue sources. If the Board determines that cancellation of employment of one or more teachers may be required, it shall prepare a statement that identifies the reasons for the decision. This statement shall be transmitted to the superintendent of schools, to the school district faculty and to the association. Within ten (10) days following the association’s receipt of the statement, representatives of the district and the association shall meet to discuss the reduction in force. The discussions will include, but not be limited to the following:
1. Possible alternatives to a reduction in force.
2. The needs of the district.
3. Budget information.
4. Number of teachers affected in each program such as level/subject area.
