Description
Plaintiff in error, Richard L. Trolson, appeals from the judgment of the district court affirming the decision of the defendant
in error, the Board of Education of the School District of Blair, to amend Trolson's teaching contract from full time to half
time as the result of a reduction in force. Trolson assigns as error, among others, to the district court, its finding that
the board's decision is supported by the evidence. That assignment being meritorious, we, without reaching the other claims
of error, reverse the judgment of the district court and remand with direction. Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 79-12,107 and 79-12,112 (Reissue 1987) require that the contract of a "permanent certificated"
teacher be deemed continuing and be renewed and remain in full force and effect unless amended or terminated in accordance
with certain statutory procedures. Section 79-12,112 permits the amendment of such a teacher's contract for a variety of reasons,
including "reduction in force as set forth in sections 79-1254.05 to 79-1254.08." Neb. Rev. Stat. § 79-1254.05 (Reissue
1987) requires that every board of education adopt a reduction in force policy, and further provides that no such policy "shall
allow the reduction of a permanent or tenured employee while a probationary employee is retained to render a service which
such permanent employee is qualified by reason of certification and endorsement to perform . . . ."
