ABSTRACT: This paper discusses how the inevitable upheavals
caused by economic difficulties surrounding declining
enrollments can be lessened by dealing with the subject in
the collective bargaining arena. Through joint
participation
in the negotiations process, school administrators and
teachers can reduce tensions associated with the right of
an
employer to lay off employees and can come to an agreement
on giving notice before layoffs and selection of those to
be
laid off. This paper also deals with affirmative action
considerations and alternatives to layoffs. (Author/LD)
