SERIES 4000: DISTRICT EMPLOYMENT
4500 Administrators/Supervisors
4505 Reduction and Recall
The Board will determine the appropriate level and number of Administrators, Supervisors, and Directors necessary for curricular, fiscal, and other operating conditions.
The Board may determine that a reduction of administrative and supervisory personnel is warranted based on the Superintendent’s or designee’s recommendation.
The Superintendent or designee will first identify the recommended areas where reductions in the District’s administrative and supervisory structure can best be accomplished consistent with the realization of District goals and objectives.
The Superintendent or designee will consider the following in making recommendations for the reduction and recall of Administrators, Supervisors, or Directors within the approved administrative structure: relevant experience, performance, disciplinary history, evaluations, qualifications, certification, relevant contract language, and other factors deemed relevant.
In implementing a reduction or recall, the Superintendent or designee may effectuate assignments and transfers as specified in Policy 4502.
The Board will consider and act on the Superintendent’s or designee’s recommendation(s) in open session.
If an Administrator selected for layoff has successfully completed a probationary period under the Teachers’ Tenure Act, acquired tenure as a classroom teacher with the District, and maintained a valid teaching certificate on file with the District, the Administrator will be considered for placement to a teaching position for which the Administrator is properly certified and qualified consistent with the Teachers’ Tenure Act and Policies 4402 and 4405.
An Administrator, Supervisor, or Director on layoff status may be eligible for recall to a vacant Administrator, Supervisor, or Director position for which that person is certified and qualified for a period of __12__ months after the reduction in force was approved by the Board. An Administrator, Supervisor, or Director rated effective or highly effective will receive priority for recall to a vacant Administrator, Supervisor, or Director position for which that person is otherwise qualified over an Administrator, Supervisor, or Director rated minimally effective or ineffective.
