As local educational agencies (LEAs) navigate the 2025-26 planning cycle, a perfect storm of challenges looms. Declining enrollment and attendance continue to erode revenue, while the expiration of one-time pandemic relief funds and modest cost-of-living adjustments create mounting fiscal pressure. LEAs must begin preparing well before statutory deadlines to ensure thoughtful and legally compliant staffing reductions. This technical webinar is designed to help human resources (HR) and business leaders effectively navigate the pre-layoff process. The session is intended for HR practitioners and will provide critical statutory guidance, timelines, and best practices for executing reductions in force with accuracy and compassion.
