TEACHING ASSIGNMENTS AND TRANSFERS. Section 1. Teachers will be notified in writing of any changes of programs from the prior school year, including the schools to which they will be assigned, the grades that they will teach, any departmental transfers, and any special or unusual classes that they will have, not later than June 1. It is recognized that unusual circumstances may dictate the need for involuntary transfers after that date. Teachers who desire a change in grade and/or subject assignment or who desire to transfer to another building shall file a written statement of such desires with the Superintendent, normally not later than June 1. Such statement shall include the grade and/or subject to which the teacher desires to be assigned or the school to which he wishes to be transferred. Not any later than July 1, the Superintendent shall notify in writing said teachers of the disposition of their request. The President of the Association will be notified by email of positions that become vacant after the close of school in June. A teacher whose transfer request has not been honored will have the opportunity to meet with the Superintendent, if requested, in order to be informed of the reason(s) why the transfer request was not honored. The wishes of the individual teacher requesting a transfer in this respect will receive the fullest consideration, but the educational requirements of the school system and its pupils will be the controlling factor as decided by the Superintendent without recourse to grievance or arbitration.
Section 2. In order to insure that pupils are taught by teachers working within their areas of competence, teachers will not be assigned, except temporarily or for good cause, outside the scope of their teaching certificates and/or their major or minor fields of study. Upon written request the Superintendent/designee will provide the Association with the reason for a teacher assignment outside of a teacher's certification. This request will be answered in writing within five (5) school days. This paragraph shall not apply to school nurses. When involuntary transfers are necessary, a teacher's area of competence, major and/or minor field of study, quality of teaching performance, and length of service in the Groton-Dunstable Regional School District will be considered in determining which teacher is to be transferred to comparable positions as far as is reasonably possible. An involuntary transfer will be made only after a meeting between the teacher involved and the...
