Procedures

Using the criteria established under Board policy on this subject, the procedures for selecting the positions to be discontinued in a reduction in force of a school are as follows: (1) The administrative staff of the affected school will review the positions under the areas of management and recommend to the superintendent of the school positions in each administrative area that might be discontinued. (2) The superintendent of the school will review with each administrative staff member making such recommendation the effect the recommendation would have on that administrator's area of management. (3) The superintendent and the top administrative staff of the school will collectively review the total listing in order to develop the school's recommended list of positions to be discontinued. (4) The superintendent of the school will review the school's recommended list with the appropriate member of the staff of the State Board of Education, or the State Department of Education acting under delegated authority from the board, in order to develop a final list of positions to be recommended to the board for discontinuance. (5) As required under the tenure policies of the board, this final list shall be immediately reported to the board through its executive director. If the schools are being operated by the State Department of Education under delegated authority from the board, the Commissioner of Education shall forward the report to the executive director of the board for transmittal to the members of the board.
