NRS288.151. Factors for consideration in reductions in workforce of school districts.

  If the board of trustees of a school district determines that a reduction in the existing workforce of the licensed educational personnel in the school district is necessary, the decision to lay off a teacher or an administrator must not be based solely on the seniority of the teacher or administrator and may include, without limitation, a consideration of the following factors:

      1.  Whether the teacher or administrator is employed in a position which is hard to fill;

      2.  Whether the teacher or administrator has received a national board certification;

      3.  The performance evaluations of the teacher or administrator;

      4.  The disciplinary record of the teacher or administrator within the school district;

      5.  The criminal record of the teacher or administrator, if any;

      6.  The type of licensure held by the teacher or administrator; and

      7.  The type of degree attained by the teacher or administrator and whether the degree is in a subject area that is related to his or her position.
