Video Highlights



• The 2% cap is only the starting point - GLA can significantly expand the allowable levy in a given year.

• GLA is a one-year adjustment driven by real cost pressures (most notably health benefits).

• When that expanded authority is not fully used, it becomes banked cap, which is available for up to three years before expiring.

• Over time, this creates a rolling reservoir of deferred taxing authority that districts must actively manage.

Topics Include:

• What is a Reduction in Force (RIF)?
• How Does a Board Effectuate a RIF?
• What Notices are Needed in a RIF?
• What Positions Can be RIFed?
• Can a RIF be Used to Target an Employee?
• What is Seniority?
• What is a Preferred Eligibility List?
• What are Recall Rights?
• When is a RIFed Employee Entitled to be Recalled?

Keynote Speaker: Alisha De Lorenzo, MS, LPC, an acclaimed international speaker and award-winning educator and therapist, will deliver an energizing and transformative keynote.  

Women leaders will be invited to move beyond survival leadership and into strategic positive disruption through a bold, collaborative approach to breaking the invisible boundaries that limit innovation, well-being, and collective power in our schools.
