Time: 5 minutes

Description:

The Administration presents the following items for the Board's consideration and possible action regarding authorization of a reduction in force (RIF).

PROGRAM CHANGE(S): After input from Cabinet members and the applicable department head, the Administration presents information for the Board's consideration and possible action regarding determination that the need for a program change(s) exists requiring the need for a RIF resulting in one or more contract employees being dismissed or their contracts being non-renewed, pursuant to DFF (Local). These program changes include, but are not limited to, the following: A. Change in student teacher ratios; B. Change in student and/or staff schedules; C. Reorganization of central support departments; D. Elimination on non-instructional programs; E. Consolidation of duties and/or responsibilities of central support departments; and F. Redirecting financial resources to direct instructional costs by designating positions for external funding, thereby changing employment status.
