The Association, Unit A, acknowledges the right of the School Committee to transfer. In cases of involuntary transfer, the teacher involved will at the teacher’s request be entitled to meet with the Superintendent to discuss the implications of the transfer and the teacher’s preference in that regard. Such transfers shall be made only for the good of the school system and shall not be made for arbitrary, capricious, or punitive reasons. Teachers being involuntarily transferred shall be placed before requests for voluntary transfers are granted. In the determination of reassignment and transfers, the convenience and wishes of the senior transfer teacher will be honored to the extent that these considerations do not conflict with the instructional requirements and best interests of the school system and the pupils. Notice of transfer shall be given to teachers as soon as practicable (and under normal circumstances not later than June 30).
Transfer or Reassignments. Employees who transfer within their class will retain their current base salary. Employees reassigned to another position as a result of department reorganization shall retain their current salary.
