AI Summary
- Local boards of education are prohibited from adopting or implementing reduction in force (RIF) policies that use length of service (seniority) as the primary or determining factor in deciding which teachers or school personnel to lay off.
- Any RIF policy adopted after the effective date that violates the seniority restriction is deemed invalid, and the State Board of Education is authorized to withhold all or any portion of state funds from the noncompliant district under Code Section 20-2-243.
- The seniority restriction does not apply when a local board of education eliminates an entire program.
- The Act becomes effective immediately upon approval by the Governor or upon becoming law without such approval.
