Common use of Change in Assignments Clause in Contracts

Change in Assignments. Members who receive a change in assignment within the school year, subject area, course title or grade level within their site after the school year begins, shall be given one day to prepare for the assignment. Except in cases where appropriate credentialing is an issue, members shall not be reassigned more than once a year without written mutual consent of the administrator and unit member. When assignment changes are made in the summer, the unit member shall be notified within ten (10) working days after identifying the change. If a second reassignment for 7-12 is needed during the school year and there are no volunteers, the principal shall consult with the affected department chairs and departments as a whole to explore other options. If there is no agreement, the principal may make the decision to involuntarily reassign a teacher for the second time. In such case that teacher shall be exempt from involuntary second reassignment for the next two years. If this results in the reassigned teacher having a new preparation, i.e., a subject not being taught currently, the teacher shall be granted up to two days of substitute time for preparation.
