Bargaining Unit Member Assignment and Transfer. Bargaining Unit Member assignments, schedules, and other responsibilities shall be a matter of consultation and, if possible, mutual agreement between the Administration and staff member, as early as possible, in most cases before school closes in the Spring. Where at all possible, such assignments, schedules, and responsibilities shall be changed only after consultation between the Administration and the staff member concerned. Every attempt possible shall be made to arrange voluntary reassignment. In the event that involuntary reassignment must occur, when possible the least senior person shall be reassigned. A Bargaining Unit Member shall keep the Administrators informed about his/her address at all times during the summer so that such consultation about changes can be made if they are necessary. In the event of a Bargaining Unit Member’s absence, a substitute will be hired if a qualified substitute is available. This will not apply to psychologists, librarians, or guidance counselors.
