Transfers/Reassignments. A transfer shall be defined as being voluntarily moved from a position in one (1) building to a position in another building. A reassignment shall be defined as a change from one assignment to another assignment in the same building. Unit members are defined in this contract as certificated staff members of the Newport School District. Unit members who are transferred or reassigned during the school year shall be allowed two and one-half (2 ½) working days of release time for preparation prior to the effective date of the transfer. The District shall provide assistance in the moving of the member’s material whenever a request is made. Individuals being transferred or reassigned prior to the beginning of the school year will be notified at the earliest possible date, and in no case later than July 1, except during a year affected by a double levy loss or budgetary constraints due to uncontrollable events, then August 1 will be the deadline date. Teachers receiving notification after the deadline date shall receive one (1) additional day of per diem pay to assist with preparation in the newly assigned area. The District will strive to maintain the majority of a teacher’s load in his/her area of preparation. The District will also strive to ensure that no teacher will have more than four (4) preparations at the 7-12 level. In the event that content or preparations become detrimental to effective learning in the opinion of any teacher, the District shall consider alternative solutions in consultation with the teacher and the President of the Association.
Transfers/Reassignments. 11.1 A transfer refers to the movement of a unit member from one school to another within the district. A unit member assigned to more than one work site shall be considered as being transferred only when moved from one district program to another. A reassignment is a change, within the same site, from one K-6 grade level to another or from one department to another. Changes to or from the positions of Educational Advisor, Counselor, Nurse, Librarian and Psychologist are considered reassignments within the meaning of this Article. Initial assignments are within the sole discretion of the district.
11.2 A request for transfer or reassignment may be unit member initiated (voluntary) or district initiated (involuntary). Involuntary transfers and reassignments shall be accomplished at the discretion of the district as set forth in this Article.
11.2.1 Involuntary transfers or reassignments shall not be made outside the major or minor fields of study and/or the areas of qualification as established by the unit member's credential(s) unless by mutual consent.
11.3 The District shall provide notice of known transfers or reassignments for the ensuing school year not later than May 30 where possible. Should additional transfers and/or reassignments become necessary after that date, affected unit members shall be notified as soon as possible.
11.4 When an involuntary transfer and/or reassignment occurs during the school year the transferred or reassigned unit member shall be provided up to two paid working days to effectuate the transfer through preparing and organizing his/her classroom environment and/or for observation purposes. The unit member may opt for one day, if the unit member believes only one day is necessary to accomplish the above purposes. No such transfer or reassignment shall result in a loss of compensation for the remainder of the school year excluding extra-duty assignments.
11.5 The District and/or site level management may initiate involuntary transfers and/or reassignments based upon the District’s educational related needs. This may include, but is not limited to, transferring a teacher to another site due to declining enrollment. This transfer may take place at the beginning of the school year and/or mid-year. Such transfers or reassignments shall not be initiated on an arbitrary basis nor shall they be utilized in lieu of discipline. Prior to making an involuntary transfer and/or reassignment the District shall seek volunteers interested in...
Transfers/Reassignments. 33.1 A transfer is defined as movement from one Department of the County to another Department of the County. An employee may submit a written request for such transfer identifying the requested position and listing qualifications to the Department Heads affected by the transfer and the Personnel Director. In order for a transfer to be permitted, there must be a vacant position, and both Department Heads must approve it. A transfer to like duties in other departments does not constitute a promotion.
33.2 Existing County employees who request a transfer must be interviewed and extended preferential consideration if the employee meets the minimum qualifications as set forth in the position description, and has been certified by the Personnel Director as qualified to fill the vacant position.

Prior to the adoption of the annual budget, the employee shall be evaluated by his/her present department head. All evaluations conducted on the employee during the evaluation year shall be reviewed and signed by the department heads under which the employee worked.
33.5 When the Levy Court abolishes a bargaining unit position classified under the merit system, as a result of a department merging with the State government, or due to contracting positions to a private firm, the employees affected by the abolishment of the positions shall have one (1) year from the effective date to apply for transfer to any vacant posted County position for which they are qualified. The affected employee(s) requesting transfer shall be considered as a merit employee, and shall submit the request, in writing, to the Personnel Director with copies for the department heads affected by the transfer.

Transfers/Reassignments. A. This Article is intended to provide an orderly and consistent procedure by which unit members may be reassigned or transferred to another grade level, department, school or site within the district.

A change from a single grade level class to combination grade level class shall be considered a reassignment. Reassignment for grades 7-12 within a teacher’s specified credential area will not be considered a transfer.
B. The following factors shall be considered in making transfer and/or reassignment decisions:
1. The needs of the District, including the instructional program.
2. The appropriate credential held by the unit member and the nature/years of teaching experience.
C. Where these factors are equal, the unit member with the greatest length of service as a certificated employee with the District shall be given first consideration in the case of unit member initiated transfers and reassignments described below, and shall be given last consideration for District initiated transfers and reassignments described below except to balance a new school site with experienced and inexperienced teachers.
