Transfer Requests — Procedure Clause Samples

Transfer Requests — Procedure. A teacher may initiate a voluntary transfer request by completing the “transfer request” form. Transfer requests become void on the last working day of August prior to the start of the school year, or at the time a response is received by the applicant concerning the requested transfer. The following procedure shall be followed: a. The teachers shall be notified of open positions by the Human Resources Office. b. The teacher shall then file a transfer request with the Human Resources Office. c. An interview to discuss the transfer with the principal (or supervisor) of the school to which the teacher wishes to be transferred may be scheduled. d. Although a vacancy does not exist, a teacher may initiate a transfer request with the Human Resources Office. The general request shall remain on active file until the last day of summer recess. If all parties, the teacher, the principal (or supervisor) of the school to which the teacher wishes a transfer, and the appropriate administrator, are in favor of such transfer, the transfer shall take place. If all parties as mentioned above are not in agreement, then the Superintendent's decision shall be final. Only one transfer in a two-year period shall be permitted, except by mutual agreement between the parties. The teacher shall be notified as promptly as possible.
