17:524      Rules and regulations impairing provisions prohibited

  A. Nothing contained in the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950 shall be construed as conferring upon the Orleans Parish School Board the authority to adopt rules and regulations which may impair or nullify the provisions of this Subpart. However, the school board may adopt and implement policies and procedures for reducing the work force of its employees other than teachers for reasons of economy, without complying with the provisions of this Subpart. No employee having regular and permanent status shall be laid off until all probationary persons have been laid off within the same job classification.

  B. For the purposes of this Section, "reasons of economy" means when a position is abolished because of lack of funds, after considering all other reductions in cost that can be made.
