Selah board adopts annual RIF authorization resolution as contingency amid attrition
Summary
The board unanimously passed Resolution 2026‑3 authorizing potential reductions in force if future conditions require layoffs; presenters emphasized no current plan to RIF and that the district expects to rely on attrition.
The Selah School District board voted to adopt Resolution 2026‑3, an annual authorization that preserves the district’s ability to implement reductions in force if future developments require layoffs under collective‑bargaining deadlines.
Superintendent McKay explained the resolution is routine and required by labor contracts to ensure the district has authority to act if necessary. "We are not planning on going into any RIF situation," McKay said, adding that current staffing adjustments are being managed through attrition.
Staff noted the timing is driven by contractual notice dates; collective‑bargaining timelines require action by mid‑May in years when adjustments might be necessary. The board moved and seconded the item and approved the resolution by voice vote (ayes recorded). The motion passed and Resolution 2026‑3 was adopted.
The adoption does not change day‑to‑day staffing; board members and administrators reiterated that the measure is a contingency to preserve legal options should funding or legislative actions create an unforeseen shortfall.
