Seniority, RIF, Continuing Contracts Everything you ever wanted to know, and more!
Seniority • Your length of time in the district determines your seniority
RIF • RIF stands for Reduction In Force • A teacher may be subject to RIF in the case of budget cuts, declining enrollment, or decreasing enrollment in a staff member’s area of certification
Continuing Contract • A continuing contract is sort of like a “super-sized” contract • If you meet the requirements determined by the state, you can apply for a continuing contract
Continuing Contract • In the case of a RIF, teachers who have continuing contract have more protection. • They also have more protection in general where it comes to their job • (See our latest newsletter for more details)
RIF Example • Looking at the seniority list given to you, if one position was reduced, who would be RIFed? • If 9 positions were reduced, who would be RIFed? • How about if 14 positions were reduced?
So . . . • In the case of a RIF, people with continuing contracts who work fulltime have the most job protection
Seniority by Contract - pg 23 • Teachers with limited contracts who are part time are the first to be RIFed • Part time teachers with continuing contracts are next • Full time teachers with limited contracts would be RIFed after that • And finally, full time teachers with continuing contracts would have their contracts suspended
