Intra-Building Transfer or Reassignment. A member desiring to transfer from one (1) grade level to another or from one (1) subject to another within the building shall file a request for transfer with the building principal prior to March 1. The building principal shall notify the member in writing prior to March 10 of the approval or disapproval of such request; if the request is disapproved, the notification shall include the reason for such disapproval. Decisions in these transfers are subject to appeal, in writing, to the Executive Director – Human Resources, who shall respond to each appeal in writing. The appeals process shall be completed by March 20. In the event the principal’s decision is upheld by the Executive Director – Human Resources, the member may elect to file an Inter-Building transfer request as outlined in B.1.b.1. below, specifying the vacancy requested in the Intra-Building Transfer request denied by the principal. If, as the result of a spring staff reduction, a member is reassigned to a different grade level within the building, the member may complete a Teacher's Request for Transfer to indicate a desire to be restored to his former assignment. In the event a vacancy occurs in that assignment prior to or during initial staffing, the member shall be restored to the former assignment within the building.
