Board Initiated Transfers. 1. The Board may transfer a teacher from one assignment to another at any time by giving at least seven (7) days notice in writing. Such notice shall include the reasons for the transfer. 2. In the interests of employer-employee harmony, the Board shall endeavour to limit notification of such transfers to the periods May 1 - June 15, and September 15 - October 31. 3. Within seven (7) days of receiving notice of the transfer the teacher may request a meeting with the Superintendent to appeal the decision. 4. In the event that a teacher initiates a grievance with regards to a transfer, and the decision resulting from this process upholds the transfer order, the teacher upon written or verbal notification, may immediately resign. 5. In the event that the Board initiates a transfer involving a change of community of residence, the teacher shall be granted leave of absence with full pay and benefits to complete the move, providing the transfer does not occur during the summer vacation. Such leave shall not exceed five (5) days and may be appended to Christmas and Spring Breaks. 6. Any teacher who has been transferred pursuant to this Article shall not be subject to a further Board initiated transfer for two school years.
