Teacher-Initiated Transfers. Any teacher employed by USD 469 who is licensed for and makes a written request (within five (5) school days of posting) to the building administrator to transfer to a vacant position within the district will be considered. The administrator will discuss the viability for the position with the employee and provide written confirmation of the discussion. Any employee who transfers to an administrative or supervisory position, and who later returns to former status, shall be entitled to retain such rights as may have been accrued under this Agreement prior to such transfer. This provision should not be construed to create any right on the part of the employee to return to his or her former status.

All bargaining unit positions that the Board decides to fill shall be posted on the District’s website for a period of five (5) calendar days (excluding weekends and holidays).

If the Board elects not to fill a position, it shall notify the Association President within thirty (30) days of the vacancy occurring.
