Policy Title: Staff Reduction Through Termination (Non Bargaining Personnel)

Code No.: 471

The number of employees and the full-time equivalency of employees may be reduced due to a change in program, a change in the size or nature of the student population or budgetary considerations. Such reductions shall be accomplished through normal staff attrition unless the best interests of the school district dictate otherwise. When reductions beyond normal staff attrition are to be made, a notice of termination shall be provided to affected employees.

The administration shall determine which employee(s) will be subject to reduction on the basis of relative training and skill and demonstrated competency. If this requires a choice between two or more employees with equal training, skill and demonstrated competency the reduction will be accomplished by inverse order of employment.
