Sec. 34A-405.2.
Staffing levels.
(a) No hiring or appointment of any person in any position by the Board, the
general superintendent, any other officer or employee of the Board, or any
local school council shall be made or entered into unless it is consistent with
the Financial Plan and Budget in effect and the staffing plan approved by the
Authority under this Section. The hiring or appointment of any person shall
not be binding on the Board unless and until it is in compliance with this
Section.
(b) The Board shall submit to the Authority for approval by the Authority a
staffing plan for the upcoming school year at the same time as the submission
of the Budget, except that the staffing plan for the fiscal
year ending in 1994 shall be submitted to the Authority within 90 days after
the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1993. The staffing plan shall be
accompanied by a
cost analysis and such other information as the Authority may require. The
Authority may adopt, and from time to time amend, regulations to implement this
Section and may prescribe standards, procedures, and forms for submission of
the staffing plan.
(c) The Authority shall approve the staffing plan if, in its judgment, the
information required to be submitted is complete and the staffing plan is
consistent with the Budget and Financial Plan in effect. Otherwise, the
Authority shall reject the staffing plan; in the event of rejection, the
Authority shall prescribe a procedure and standards for revision of the
staffing plan. The Authority shall act on the staffing plan at the same
time as the approval of the Budget, except that the staffing plan for the
fiscal year ending in 1994 shall be acted upon at the same time as approval of
the Financial Plan for that fiscal year.
(d) The Board shall report to the Authority, at such times and in such
manner as the Authority may direct, concerning the Board's compliance with each
staffing plan. The Authority may review the Board's operations, obtaining
budgetary data and financial statements, may require the Board to produce
reports, and shall have access to any other information in the possession of
the Board that it deems relevant. The Authority may issue recommendations or
directives within its powers to the Board to assure compliance with the
staffing plan. The Board shall produce such budgetary data, financial
statements, reports, and other information and shall comply with such
directives.
(e) After approval of each staffing plan, the Board shall regularly
reexamine the estimates on which it was based and revise them as necessary. The
Board shall promptly notify the Authority of any material change in the
estimates in the staffing plan. The Board may submit to the Authority, or the
Authority may require the Board to submit, modifications to the staffing plan
based upon revised revenue or expenditure estimates or for any other good
reason. The Authority shall approve or reject each modified staffing plan
pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section.
