X.A. Resolution for Honorable Dismissal of Certain Educational Support Personnel - ACTION
Description:
Illinois School Code requires that Educational Support Personnel (ESP) be notified 30
calendar days before the end of the school year if they are to be honorably dismissed for the following school year. ESP are honorably dismissed when there is an anticipated decrease in number of positions needed or particular type of service. These individuals will have recall rights to positions if they become available. This will effect three Instructional Assistants. I move to approve the Resolution Authorizing the Honorable Dismissal of Educational Support Personnel Due to Reduction in Force.
