INVOLUNTARY TRANSFERS AND ASSIGNMENTS.

It is desirable that such assignments and transfers be mutually agreeable to the employee and the Superintendent or the Superintendent's designee.

B. The parties recognize that changes in grade assignment in elementary schools, changes in subject assignments in the high school or middle school and transfers between schools may be necessary. While the right of determination to assign or transfer a member is vested in the Board, the Superintendent or designee, on behalf of the Board, will not assign or transfer a member without prior discussion with the member before the transfer is placed on the Board agenda.

An administrative transfer or reassignment shall be made only after a conference between the teacher involved, the superintendent, and the teacher's immediate supervisor, at which time the teacher will be notified of the reason therefore.
INVOLUNTARY TRANSFERS AND ASSIGNMENTS. The Committee and the Association recognize that some involuntary transfers of teachers from one school to another or reassignments within a school are unavoidable.

A. Notice of an involuntary transfer or reassignment shall be given to teachers as soon as practicable and, under normal circumstances, not later than June 15th.
B. A teacher's area of competence, major and/or minor field of study, quality of teaching performance, and length of service in the Burrillville School System will be considered in determining which teacher is to be transferred or reassigned. All things being equal, the least senior teacher shall be involuntarily transferred.
C. An involuntary transfer or reassignment will be made only after a meeting between the teacher involved and the Superintendent at which time the teacher will be notified in writing of the reasons therefore. In the event that a teacher objects to the transfer or reassignment at this meeting, upon the request of the teacher, the Association will be notified and the Superintendent will meet with the Association's representative to discuss the matter.
D. Openings in the school system will be discussed with the teachers being involuntarily transferred or reassigned. Such teachers may request the positions to which they desire to be transferred. Teachers being involuntarily transferred or reassigned shall have preference over those seeking voluntary transfer or reassignment under Article X. In consideration of involuntary transfers, those best qualified for a particular position shall receive priority, and all qualifications being equal, the least senior teacher will be involuntarily transferred.
E. The Superintendent or building principal shall make available to the Association requested information pertaining to individual reassignments and/or transfers, if this information does not violate a teacher's rights or personal wishes.

An administrative transfer or reassignment shall be made only after a conference between the employee involved and the Chief or other appropriate supervisor or administrator at which the employee will be notified of the reason for the shift transfer. Nothing in this Article shall be construed to limit the right of the City, if it deems it to be in the best interests of the City to assign fire Department employees duties in other departments.
