ACTION ALERT:
Senate General Laws Committee approves
Reduction-in-force Bill
The Senate General Laws Committee heard and approved HCS/HB 1526 (Scott Dieckhaus) on May 14. The perfected HCS/HB 1526 damages the reduction-in-force (RIF) requirements by undermining respect for certification, experience and commitment to the district, while forcing districts to create an entirely new system to determine layoff priorities and leaving districts vulnerable to various legal challenges in implementing this new, untested mandate.
An extremist group known as Students First, centered in Sacramento, CA, has hired numerous lobbyists in Missouri and is pushing the various changes in tenure and evaluation policy contained in the various versions of HB 1526 and in SB 806 (Jane Cunningham).
ACTION NEEDED: YOUR HELP IS NEEDED! PLEASE CALL, WRITE OR E-MAIL TO URGE YOUR STATE SENATOR TO OPPOSE HCS/HB 1526.
