REDUCTION IN FORCE POLICY. In the event that a reduction in work force (RIF) becomes necessary due to declines in enrollment, budgetary restrictions, reorganization, or other causes as determined by the District, the following reduction-in-work force provisions shall apply:
REDUCTION IN FORCE POLICY. The board’s “Reduction in Force” policy will not be altered without the board notifying the association of proposed changes and providing the association an opportunity to comment and to make suggestions.
REDUCTION IN FORCE POLICY. 384 385 A. In the event it becomes necessary in the Board’s opinion to reduce the number of 386 teachers due to reasons of economy, program elimination or reduction, declining 387 enrollment in a given grade level, given subject area, or because of the consolidation or 388 elimination of positions or programs, the basis for the decision to terminate a teacher or 389 teachers shall be in accordance with the following:
REDUCTION IN FORCE POLICY. A. Purpose The purpose of this policy is to provide a systematic and orderly process for a reduction in the number of employees. In the event it becomes necessary to reduce the number of employees, the personal well-being of the affected employees shall be given primary consideration. Reducing the number of employees because of reduced allocation, elimination of a position, or the closing of a building would proceed with the understanding that all employees are District 214 employees, and it will be assumed that all affected employees will desire to continue employment in the District. In all cases, the Board, or their designee, shall make a concerted effort to make any necessary reduction by attrition.
REDUCTION IN FORCE POLICY. 16-1 The school district retains the right to determine when a reduction in force/layoff is necessary, the number of individuals whose employment must be terminated, and the areas within which reductions in force will occur. Subject to the determinations set forth in A above, the school district will do the following:
REDUCTION IN FORCE POLICY. The decision to implement a Reduction-In- Force and select programs to be reduced shall be made at the sole discretion of the Board. The Board will make every reasonable effort to minimize the effect of a Reduction-In-Force on the current staff by absorbing as many positions as possible through attrition (e.g., retirement or resignation). Whenever it is necessary to lay-off Faculty Members for reasons of reduced enrollment, program reduction, or elimination due to budget cuts, the lay-off procedure will combine a Faculty Member’s seniority rights and evaluation rating. A Reduction-In-Force will be determined by the following criteria:
REDUCTION IN FORCE POLICY. The Board will notify the administrator(s) being affected by a reduction in the administrative group as soon as the potential reduction is known. The affected administrator(s) will be notified of the potential reduction in writing and will be given the opportunity to discuss the reduction with the Superintendent of Schools. Such notification will take place prior to March 30th of the given year. The Superintendent of Schools will consider the following in determining which staff will be subject to R.I.F.: performance, training, certification, seniority, and the needs of the district. Seniority will rule if all other factors are determined to be of equal or insignificant difference. Seniority is defined as length of service in the Claremont School District in administrative positions. Administrators affected by reduction in force will be given every opportunity to apply and be considered for an appropriate teaching position which may become available. Those individuals who have prior teaching experience in the Claremont School District will have their seniority grandfathered for their actual teaching time. Individuals with such experience will be placed on the district’s teaching seniority list on an annual basis as appropriate. If an administrator’s contract is not renewed because of reduction in force, that administrator’s name will be placed on a recall list for a period of two years. If a position becomes available during that period, and the administrator is qualified to hold that position, the administrator will be notified in writing by registered mail sent to the last known address, at least 30 days prior to the anticipated date of re-employment. In determining whether an administrator is recalled for reappointment, the Board will employ, in reverse order, the same criteria it established to determine layoff order. SALARY INDEXING FOR ADMINISTRATORS APPENDIX A COMPUTING SALARIES: Salaries are computed by adding the appropriate indices plus one and multiplying this number by:
REDUCTION IN FORCE POLICY. A. The employment contract of a bargaining unit member may be suspended pursuant to section 3319.17 O.R.C. when the position is eliminated as a result of the following:
REDUCTION IN FORCE POLICY. 403 A. In the event it becomes necessary in the Board’s opinion to reduce the number of 404 teachers due to reasons of economy, program elimination or reduction, declining 405 enrollment in a given grade level, given subject area, or because of the consolidation or 406 elimination of positions or programs, the basis for the decision to terminate a teacher or 407 teachers shall be in accordance with the following:
REDUCTION IN FORCE POLICY. Whenever, in the judgment of the board, it is advisable to reduce positions in the district, the following procedures will be used:
