Common use of Reduction in Force – Adult Programs Clause in Contracts

Reduction in Force – Adult Programs. Should program funding or a decrease in student enrollment cause the District to contemplate cut backs in adult programs (those involving Vocational Instructors, S c h o o l Counselors, Job Developers, Remedial Instructors, Case Managers, Nurse Assistant Instructors, and Adult Education Teachers), the District will meet with representatives of the Association to discuss potential alternative funding or student recruitment.
