ARTICLE VI: Reduction in Force

Post any information that might help enhance teacher protection from RIF on this page.

The master contract does not show anything better than we currently have.

Here's the specific langauge: A. No employee shall be discharged pursuant to a necessary reduction in personnel unless there is a substantial decrease in the revenues of the district. Such discharged employee is entitled to due process in accordance with K.S.A. 72-5436, et seq. B. In the event that a reduction of personnel becomes necessary, the Board shall accomplish same through normal attrition. Should further reduction be necessary, the Board shall first retain those employees possessing current teaching certificates with the longest period of continuous service in the district who are qualified to teach in those areas or disciplines to be preserved, non-renewing those employees with the least period of continuous service in the district.
