CERTIFICATED STAFF REDUCTION PROCEDURES. If the District reduces staff due to an enrollment decline or loss of revenue, the District may implement the following procedures to determine the staff to be retained for the reduced educational program as determined by the Board.
CERTIFICATED STAFF REDUCTION PROCEDURES. Employees whose employment is terminated consistent with this section will be notified of such action by written notice presented at a private meeting or by a written notice delivered personally or through the mails. Reasonable effort will be made to notify any staff member so affected at the conclusion of his/her teaching day, although both parties recognize that legal time limits may, in special cases, require notification at other times or through other means. If it becomes necessary for economic reasons to substantially reduce the number of certificated employees, those certificated employees who will be retained to implement the District's reduced or modified program and those certificated employees who will be terminated from employment will be identified and selected by using the following procedures specified in this section. Prior to conditions that raise the prospect of a possible need to reduce the number of certificated staff, the District and the Association shall meet and confer regarding the need for a reduction in force and to consider other cost cutting options.
