	Insert a new subsection to read:                                              
	"(g)  A school district may only lay off a tenured teacher if                
the district also reduces the number of its administrators in                  
proportion to the reduction in teaching staff.  In complying with              
this subsection, a district is not required to reduce an                       
administrative position until the amount of the reduction is equal             
to at least 20 percent of the administrative position's time."
