Board approves MOU on tiebreakers for potential reductions in force
Summary
The board approved a Memorandum of Understanding specifying tiebreaker language to resolve equal-seniority non-tenured staff decisions; the change applies when seniority and education are identical and was approved 5–0.
Superintendent Dr. Todd Fitzgerald explained the need for a memorandum of understanding to add tiebreaker language if a reduction in force were needed, noting a tiebreaker would arise when seniority and education are identical. He said the MOU addresses the gap the district and union identified during ongoing teacher negotiations.
President Chris Waas moved to approve the MOU and Holly Neumann seconded; the board adopted the memorandum on a 5–0 roll-call vote with Monica Arango and Melissa Obrock absent. The minutes state the MOU applies to nontenured staff typically placed in Group 1 (staff without completed evaluations).
