Transfer: Involuntary. A. An involuntary transfer can occur for multiple reasons, including but not limited to the following:
Transfer: Involuntary. 9.5.1 The Superintendent may make such lateral transfers as needed for the operation of a department or school site.
Transfer: Involuntary. The District may make involuntary transfers at any time 16 for the following reasons:
Transfer: Involuntary. If involuntary transfers become necessary due to the overall reduction of teachers in a particular building, the Board shall consider any volunteer(s) for such positions provided such volunteer(s) are legally qualified to fill the position(s). A reasonable effort will be made not to transfer any teacher(s) who has been involuntarily transferred one school year the following school year without the teacher’s consent.
Transfer: Involuntary. An employee subject to involuntary transfer shall have the opportunity for a conference with the employee’s immediate supervisor(s). Upon request of the employee, the employee shall be entitled to know the reason for the transfer. If the employee is dissatisfied with the reason for the transfer, the employee shall have the option of resigning without prejudice.
Transfer: Involuntary. When it is necessary to involuntarily transfer or reassign employees within a building or classification, the District shall first seek and consider all employee volunteers. Seniority and qualifications shall be considered in any transfer/assignment. An employee subject to involuntary transfer shall have the opportunity for a formal conference with all the employee's immediate supervisors (pre-transfer supervisor and post-transfer supervisor). Upon request of the employee, the employee shall be entitled to know the reason for the transfer and such alternatives as the employer may have considered in making the transfer. If the employee is dissatisfied with the outcome of the conference with immediate supervisors, the employee may request a meeting with the Superintendent to discuss the transfer. If the employee is dissatisfied with the outcome of this meeting, the employee shall have option of resigning without prejudice.
Transfer: Involuntary. 1. When involuntary transfers are necessary, a teacher shall not be assigned to a position outside his/her area of certification.
Transfer: Involuntary a. Except where transfer is requested by a teacher, the Board shall notify any teacher and the Association of a proposed transfer and the reasons for such transfer. Such notification shall be given in writing on or before the last scheduled school day whenever possible. If the teacher objects to the transfer, he/she may provide written indication of his/her feelings against the transfer to the Superintendent and the Association.
Transfer: Involuntary. A. Involuntary transfers will, whenever possible, adhere to the concept of least disruptive. The process defines specifically that the two overriding variables in the involuntary transfer process are district seniority and a least-disruptive process. • In the event a unique or unforeseen situation occurs, the district and Association will review the matter in an effort to satisfy the interests of all the parties involved. • A unit member with more district seniority shall have priority regarding selection and placement into another assignment over other unit members with less district seniority, as long as the senior member is qualified—or can become licensed/qualified—by the time the unit member is to begin performing the duties of the new assignment. • In the event that a unit member needs to be involuntarily transferred at any time during a school year because of lack of enrollment, the following process will be considered least disruptive. The unit manager will determine the grade level/department in which the reduction needs to occur. Only those members at the designated grade level or department will be affected within the specified school. The least senior member at the affected grade level or department will be the person involuntarily transferred unless a more senior member volunteers to leave. In the event that no opening exists at the time during the year when the unit member must be involuntarily transferred, the unit member will displace the least senior member in the district in any position for which the involuntarily transferred unit member is licensed/qualified to teach. • In the event no vacancy exists at the time the involuntary transfer is being considered, then the unit member’s seniority rights as stipulated in Section 9.3.A in the agreement, shall be determined and activated when appropriate. • Prior to the implementation of an involuntary transfer, the Executive Director of Human Resources will notify the Association in a timely manner and arrange a meeting with the parties in interest to explain the cause of the transfer(s), to review the procedures and rights of those involved, and stipulate the timelines for implementation.
Transfer: Involuntary. 12 1. The Superintendent has the right to transfer involuntarily any employee within their 13 discretion except that no involuntary transfer shall be for disciplinary reason(s) only, 14 and no employee assigned within a county shall be transferred involuntarily to an 15 assignment outside of that county.
