(110 ILCS 805/3B-5) (from Ch. 122, par. 103B-5)
Sec. 3B-5.
Reduction in Number of Faculty Members.
If a dismissal of a
faculty member for the ensuing school year results from the decision by
the Board to decrease the number of faculty members employed by the Board
or to discontinue some particular type of teaching service or program, notice
shall be given the affected faculty member not later than 60 days before
the end of the preceding school year, together with a statement of honorable
dismissal and the reason therefor; provided that the employment of no tenured
faculty member may be terminated under the provisions of this Section while
any probationary faculty member, or any other employee with less seniority,
is retained to render a service which the tenured employee is competent
to render. In the event a tenured faculty member is not given notice within
the time herein provided, he shall be deemed reemployed for the ensuing
school year. Each board, unless otherwise provided in a collective
bargaining agreement, shall each year establish a list, categorized by
positions, showing the seniority of each faculty member for each position
entailing services such faculty member is competent to render. Copies of
the list shall be distributed to the exclusive employee representative on
or before February 1 of each year. For the period of 24 months from the
beginning of the school year for which the faculty member was dismissed,
any faculty member shall have the preferred right to reappointment to a
position entailing services he is competent to render prior to the
appointment of any new faculty member; provided that no non-tenure faculty
member or other employee with less seniority shall be employed to render a
service which a tenured faculty member is competent to render.
