G6300 - Reduction in Force (RIF)

A reduction in force (RIF) may occur from declining enrollment, a school closure, an administrative reorganization, or the district’s inability to continue to fund its educational program or departments at the anticipated level.

If it is necessary to reduce a full-time regular employee to less than full-time or to lay off a full or part-time regular employee due to reduction-in-force reasons, the process shall be followed that is outlined in Oregon Revised Statutes and, where applicable, the classified and licensed employee collective bargaining agreements. The administrative employee reduction in force process is outlined below. The reduction in force process should be communicated to all affected employees as soon as practical.
