Certificated Personnel
Personnel Reduction


The Governing Board may determine that a reduction in certificated
personnel is necessary due to the following conditions:
1. declining enrollment,
2. reduction or discontinuance of programs or services,
3. state mandated modification of the curriculum, or
4. a change in the District's joint powers agreement.
The Governing Board shall authorize the Superintendent to layoff
employees by adopting a resolution to that effect.
The percentage of reduction in probationary and permanent certificated
personnel should not exceed the corresponding percentage of student attendance
or monetary loss.
The Superintendent shall adhere to the notice, hearing and layoff
procedures in Education Codes 44949 and 44955 required for permanent employees.
