Common use of Reverse Layoff Clause in Contracts

Reverse Layoff. If the District is going to lay off teachers pursuant to this Article, teachers with the greatest seniority and comparable teaching assignments will be given the option of taking a voluntary layoff before involuntary layoffs take effect. The request for reverse layoff will be sent to the Superintendent prior to July 15/December 1. Requests sent after July 15/December 1 will be treated on an individual basis. In the event that a sufficient number of voluntary layoffs are not generated, the above involuntary layoff procedure will be applicable. Teachers on voluntary layoff will retain all layoff rights.
