Certificated Contract
Article 8.1 A transfer is defined as a change in work site (school). A reassignment is a change in grade level or subject.
8.1.1.3 When teachers either request voluntary transfer or the District determines it necessary to involuntarily transfer a teacher, the District will apply the following criteria in determining who shall be transferred. If more than one teacher is qualified for the position according to the criteria below then the applicant with the most seniority in the District will be selected²:
· Credentials, to include language development and special education
· Seniority (district wide)
· Ability to contribute to adjunct responsibilities
· Identified needs of the instructional programs
· Evaluations, including when the move will give the employee an opportunity for improvement
· Prior involuntary transfer or reassignment
8.1.2 A unit member may request a transfer (provided the unit member is properly credentialed) by submitting a District transfer form on or before March 1 or when a position becomes available up to June 30.
8.1.3 Criteria for selection will be the same as those set out in this Agreement.
8.1.4 When a certificated vacancy occurs (a vacant position is one within the unit for which a new employee may be hired), the District shall communicate that vacancy via e-mail to all unit members. Vacancy notices will also be posted on the District web site and, during the summer recess, such notices will also be mailed to the home address of any employee who has filed a request for transfer and has submitted a written request for such notices. Until July 15, those employees applying shall receive consideration for placement prior to consideration of outside applicants. Unit members shall have the opportunity to apply for such vacancies within the timelines as determined by the District. If more than one applicant is fully qualified for the position according to section 8.1.2.3 then the applicant with seniority in the District shall be selected.
8.1.5 If a unit member applies for a vacancy and is not transferred, upon request of that unit member, he/she shall be provided the District’s rationale in writing for denial of such transfer.
