Common use of LAYOFF DETERMINATION Clause in Contracts

LAYOFF DETERMINATION. No teacher will be laid off under the provision of this Article if the reduction in staff can be accomplished by normal staff turnover, provided the remaining staff are licensed to perform the work. When a position is eliminated, the teacher to be laid off as a result of such elimination will be selected based upon license area(s) and the application of seniority within such license area(s). When seniority is equal, the Board, through the Superintendent, reserves the right to use other criteria based upon the needs of the District in making its decision. Such other criteria will be grade level, subject area, performance evaluation criteria, and teaching experience within and outside the District as a full-time educational professional. The decision of the Board/Superintendent shall not be subject to grievance or other appeal.
