Involuntary Transfer An ‘involuntary transfer’ shall mean a change of assignment from one building to another to fill a specific position or vacancy when the employee does not agree to the change of assignment.
6.3.1 In the event the District determines that circumstances require a transfer of staff to fill a specific position and no qualified staff member voluntarily accepts the necessary transfer then the Superintendent will determine that an involuntary transfer action needs to be implemented. A pool of potential involuntary transferees shall be designated. Each potential transferee shall be considered on the basis of information contained in his/her staff development plan, his/her past performance, and any other pertinent factors.
6.3.2 In the event two or more potential transferees are deemed equally qualified by the District, the least senior employee under consideration shall be involuntarily transferred. Each involuntary transfer will be considered on its own merits and every attempt will be made to minimize disruption to the instructional program. The Superintendent shall notify the person to be involuntarily transferred in writing and shall stipulate the reasons for the transfer. Such notification shall take place before the involuntary transfer is to be implemented. The employee who is involuntarily transferred shall have the right to meet with the Superintendent or designee.
6.3.3 Except in emergencies, at least ten (10) days written notice will be given to the person who is to be involuntarily transferred. However, the involuntary transfer will be tentative until the teacher has had the opportunity to appeal the decision through the grievance procedure. Such appeal shall be limited to alleged procedural violations of this involuntary transfer policy. Appeals on any aspect other than the procedure will be submitted to the District’s Board of Directors in accordance with Article 5, Section 1, Class B, Grievance.
6.3.4 Employees who have been involuntarily transferred who notify the District of their desire to return will be transferred back to the last assignment held if or when that former assignment becomes vacant. This consideration shall expire when the employee has worked the same number of years as the former assignment from which they were transferred.
6.3.5 A person involuntarily transferred during the school year will be granted one (1) of the options listed in Section 7, ‘New Curriculum Responsibilities’.
Voluntary Transfer An employee who transfers within the same class shall receive no salary adjustment. An employee who transfers between classes shall receive the minimum adjustment necessary to bring his/her salary to the minimum rate of the new class. However, an employee receiving a rate of pay in excess of the range maximum shall continue to receive that rate of pay.
Involuntary Transfers Any transfer of title or beneficial ownership of Interests or Special Membership Interests, as applicable, upon default, foreclosure, forfeit, divorce, court order or otherwise than by a voluntary decision on the part of a Management Member, Outside Investor Member or Other Investor Member (each, an "Involuntary Transfer") shall be void unless such Management Member, Outside Investor Member or Other Investor Member complies with this Section 13.6 and enables the Company to exercise in full its rights hereunder. Upon any Involuntary Transfer, the Company shall have the right to purchase such Interests or Special Membership Interests, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 13.6 and the person or entity to whom such Interests or Special Membership Interests, as applicable, have been Transferred (the "Involuntary Transferee") shall have the obligation to sell such Interests or Special Membership Interests, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 13.6. Upon the Involuntary Transfer of any Interest or Special Membership Interests, as applicable, such Management Member, Outside Investor Member or Other Investor Member shall promptly (but in no event later than two days after such Involuntary Transfer) furnish written notice to the Company indicating that the Involuntary Transfer has occurred, specifying the name of the Involuntary Transferee, giving a detailed description of the circumstances giving rise to, and stating the legal basis for, the Involuntary Transfer. Upon the receipt of the notice described in the preceding sentence, and for 60 days thereafter, the Company shall have the right to purchase, and the Involuntary Transferee shall have the obligation to sell, all (but not less than all) of the Interests and Special Membership Interests acquired by the Involuntary Transferee for a purchase price equal to the lesser of (i) the Fair Market Value of such Interests or Special Membership Interests, as applicable, and (ii) the amount of the indebtedness or other liability that gave rise to the Involuntary Transfer plus the excess, if any, of the Carrying Value of such Interests or Special Membership Interests, as applicable, over the amount of such indebtedness or other liability that gave rise to the Involuntary Transfer. For purposes of this Agreement, "Carrying Value", with respect to any outstanding Special Membership Interest, means the value equal to the Special Membership Interest Funds advanced by the applicable selling Management Member, Outside Investor Member or Other Investor Member in respect of any such outstanding Special Membership Interest (plus any portion of accrued and unpaid interest on the applicable pro rata outstanding portion of the Bulk Advances that is allocable to the applicable Member pursuant to Section 10.8), less principal amounts paid to such Member in respect of such Member's Special Membership Interest.
Voluntary Transfers 1. Employees may apply for a transfer within the application deadline to any opening posted pursuant to the provisions of Section B of this Article. Prior to April 1, of the school year, employees may also apply for transfer for the following school year even if there are no known openings at the time of application; provided, however, that the application specifies the school(s), grade level(s), and subject area(s) of the positions to which the employee would like to transfer.
2. When an employee wants to transfer, the following procedure shall be followed:
a. The employee shall obtain a Transfer Request Form from the Human Resources Office and complete the appropriate section of the form.
b. The employee shall then submit the completed Transfer Request Form to the employee’s site administrator for signature and comment. Such signature shall be an acknowledgment that the site administrator has been informed of the employee’s desire for transfer. If a Transfer Request Form is submitted in connection with a particular vacancy or for the purpose of specifying interest in a position if one should become vacant, the employee shall be notified that the form has been received. Transfer forms received directly in the Human Resources department will be date stamped with a copy provided to the employee. If the form is submitted electronically, they will receive an email acknowledgement.
c. The Human Resources Office shall furnish the site administrator of the work site where a specific vacancy exists with the name(s) and present assignment(s) of employee(s) applying for the vacancy. That site administrator shall interview each employee requesting the transfer, and then shall make a recommendation to the Assistant Superintendent, Human Resources.
3. When, as reasonably determined by the District, the qualifications of candidates for a particular position are equal, present employees shall be given preference over non-employees and the present employees with the greatest seniority shall be given preference over the other present employees.
4. When a transfer request is denied, the District shall notify the employee whose transfer request was denied. The Assistant Superintendent, Human Resources, upon written request of the employee, shall meet with the employee and explain the specific reason(s) for the denial. A representative of the Association may be present at this meeting if requested by the employee, and another representative of the District may be present at this meeting if requested by the Assistant Superintendent, Human Resources.
5. Filing a request for transfer shall be without prejudice to the employee in the employee's present position.
VOLUNTARY TRANSFERS AND REASSIGNMENTS 12.3.1 A listing of tentative vacancies for which the District will interview shall be posted annually in each school on or about March 30 and April 15. The transfer or reassignment closing date will be April 30. Those employees applying within this window shall receive placement prior to consideration of outside applicants.
Involuntary Demotion An employee assigned to a lower rated position shall continue to be paid at the employee's current rate of pay until the rate of pay in the new position equals or exceeds it.
Involuntary Termination for Cause If the Employee's employment is terminated for Cause, then the Employee shall not be entitled to receive severance payments. The Employee's benefits will be terminated under the Company's then existing benefit plans and policies in accordance with such plans and policies in effect on the date of termination.
Termination for Cause; Resignation Without Good Reason; Death or Disability If you resign without Good Reason, or the Company terminates your employment for Cause, or upon your death or disability, then all payments of compensation by the Company to you hereunder will terminate immediately (except as to amounts already earned), and you will not be entitled to any Severance Benefits.
Constructive Termination The Executive may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder during the Change of Control Severance Period upon the occurrence of one or more of the following events (regardless of whether any other reason, other than Cause, for such termination exists or has occurred, including without limitation other employment), in which case the Executive shall be entitled to the benefits provided under Section 4(a) hereof:

(iii) a change in circumstances following the Change of Control, including, without limitation, a change in the scope of the business or other activities for which the Executive was responsible immediately prior to the Change of Control, which has rendered the Executive unable to carry out any material portion of the authorities, powers, functions, responsibilities or duties attached to the position held by the Executive immediately prior to the Change of Control, which situation is not remedied within 30 calendar days after written notice of such change given by the Executive;
(iv) the liquidation, dissolution, merger, consolidation or reorganization of FTD or transfer of all or substantially all of its business and/or assets, unless the successor or successors (by liquidation, merger, consolidation, reorganization, transfer or otherwise) to which all or substantially all of its business and/or assets have been transferred (directly or by operation of law) shall have assumed all duties and obligations of FTD under this Agreement; or
(v) the Executive is required to have his principal location of work changed to any location that is in excess of 50 miles from the Executive’s principal location of work immediately prior to the Change of Control. For purposes of this Agreement:
Termination for Cause; Voluntary Termination (a) The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder at any time for Cause upon written notice to the Executive.

It is understood and agreed that the Company’s election to accelerate Executive’s notice of resignation shall not be deemed a termination by the Company without Cause for purposes of Section 4.1 of this Agreement or otherwise or constitute Good Reason (as defined in Section 4.1) for purposes of Section 4.1 of this Agreement or otherwise.
(b) If the Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to Section 4.2(a), the Executive shall, in full discharge of all of the Company’s obligations to the Executive, be entitled to receive, and the Company’s sole obligation under this Agreement or otherwise shall be to pay or provide to the Executive, the following (collectively, the “Accrued Obligations”):
