INVOLUNTARY TRANSFER AND/OR REASSIGNMENT. A. When an involuntary transfer is required because no certified staff member desires reassignment, the Superintendent will identify those staff members who qualify for the involuntary transfer and/or reassignment using the following criteria in all cases: 1. Certification/licensure required by the State of Ohio to include Highly Qualified Teacher (HQT) status as defined in the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). 2. If one or more applicants satisfy the criteria in number 1 above, the teacher with the least number of years of service in the school system will be reassigned and/or transferred. B. An involuntary transfer or reassignment after August 1st to be effective during the current school year will be made only after a meeting between the teacher involved and the Superintendent and upon the agreement of the teacher. The teacher may at his/her option have a representative of his/her choice present at such meeting. Any reassignment made pursuant to this policy shall be done in the best interest of the school district using the criteria established in Section II: A, 1 and 2.
