The Board of Education is charged with governing an efficient, financially stable district that maintains adequate staffing to meet the district's long-term goals. If the district needs to reduce staffing, care will be taken to follow the law and provide notice to impacted employees. The district will consider all options, including not renewing employee contracts and not filling vacant positions, but depending on the district's needs, the board may take additional steps to reduce the district's work force.

Teachers

In accordance with law, and after considering the superintendent's recommendations, the board may place as many teachers on unrequested, unpaid leaves of absence as may be necessary due to school district reorganization, the financial condition of the school district, or a decrease in student enrollment. The board shall be the sole judge that one or more of the above conditions exist.
