Joint Reduction in Force Committee

In accordance with the Illinois School Code (105 ILCS 5/24-12), the Joint Reduction-in-Force (RIF) Committee plays an essential role in guiding District 109 through the employee dismissal process when reductions in staff are necessary due to budget constraints, enrollment changes or programmatic shifts.

The committee maintains meeting agendas and minutes for public review.
