SCH CD-ED SUPPORT PERSONNEL

Amends the School Code. In a Section concerning educational support personnel employees, provides that if the hours the employee works are reduced for certain reasons, then written notice must be given to the employee. Provides that if a reduction in hours is due to an unforeseen reduction in the student population, then the written notice must be mailed and given to the employee at least 5 days (instead of 30 days) before the hours are reduced. With respect to educational support personnel employees removed or dismissed for certain reasons, provides that if a school board has any vacancies for the following school term or within one calendar year from the beginning of the following school term, the positions thereby becoming available within a specific category of position shall be tendered to the employees who were removed or dismissed from that category or any other category of position (now, just from that category), so far as they are qualified to hold the positions. Effective immediately.
