If employee evaluation is to be included as a criterion to be used for reduction in force, specific criteria, such as frequency of evaluation, evaluation forms, and number and length of classroom observations shall be included as part of the reduction-in-force policy.

Legislative History

Source: Laws 1993, LB 239, § 52. Annotations: This section does not apply to part-time employees. An educational institution does not need to literally attach evaluation forms to its reduction in force policy, so long as the policy sets forth specific criteria to be used in conducting evaluations.
