Suspension of Contract. A. Criteria: Within each area of certification/license to be reduced, reductions not achieved by attrition shall be accomplished first by suspending the contracts of teachers who do not have continuing contracts and secondly by suspending continuing contracts. Among teachers within each of these groups (i.e., the group holding continuing contracts and the group holding limited contracts in each area of certification to be affected by the reduction), preference shall be given to members of the bargaining unit with longer continuous service in the Brooklyn City Schools. Effective for the 2018-2019 school year, seniority shall not be the basis for a decision to retain a teacher, except when making a decision between teachers who have comparable evaluations.
