310. ABOLISHING A POSITION

The Board is responsible to provide the administrative staff necessary for the implementation of the educational program for the children of the district and for the proper operation of the schools and to do so efficiently and economically.

The Board recognizes its responsibility to maintain administrative staff positions consistent with the needs of the district.

In the exercise of its authority to reduce staff or abolish positions, the Board shall give primary consideration to the effect upon the educational program.

The abolishment of administrative positions may be brought about by many facts, such as decline in student enrollment and/or changes in the organization structure of the district.

As needed the Superintendent shall recommend to the Board annually the administrative positions required for the district to function efficiently. The Superintendent should also be responsible for recommending the abolishment of unnecessary positions.

Reduction in staff as a result of the abolishment of positions shall be in accordance with law and the procedures set forth in Board Policy 311.
