TRANSFERS, VACANCIES AND PROMOTIONS.

Changes in grade assignment in the elementary schools and in the secondary schools will be voluntary. Exceptions to the provisions in this Article may be made only if the Superintendent (or his/her designee) determines that it is necessary to do so in the best interest of the educational process but in no instance shall this provision be applied to circumvent the rights and obligations contained in Article XI, Reduction in Force.

TRANSFERS, VACANCIES AND PROMOTIONS. 1. For the term of this agreement, the Employer will forego any transfers of Employees to another city or location away from the Employee’s home, except if the most urgent of needs should arise. In such a case, the Employer will provide the Employee reimbursement and assistance for moving expenses. This is not intended to preclude an Employee from being assigned to travel to a certain city or location for a special project or assignment of a determined duration that is not a permanent move to said location.
2. No Employee shall incur any penalty for refusing to accept a promotion or management position outside of the bargaining unit’s jurisdiction.
3. The Employer's promotional standards shall not exceed those required in the hiring notice. Positions shall be posted internally for five (5) business days before the position is announced externally. Present Employees shall be given first notice to apply for a vacancy in a higher classification or to make a lateral transfer; subject, however, to the prior operation of the recall list (Article VIII). Notice of each vacancy shall be posted electronically for Employees and given to the Guild. An Employee desiring to fill a vacancy shall submit written application within five (5) business days of such posting. Any Employee who applies for a vacancy shall be given consideration for the position.
4. The Employer, with the Guild’s and Employee’s prior knowledge and consent, may give an Employee a trial period of one month in a new position, unless there are internal candidates available to fill the Employee’s previous position. If the position has not been filled by an internal candidate at the end of the trial period, and the Employer or the Employee desires the Employee’s return to the Employee’s former position, such return shall take place with no penalty or prejudice, at the rate of pay at which the Employee would have received had the Employee never left the former position. This section is not to be construed as an additional probationary period.
5. The Employer shall provide upon request an explanation to an Employee and the Guild of why such Employee is denied promotion or transfer. Current Employees shall be judged by the same parameters as an outside applicant. If an Employee is deemed more valuable by the Employer in their current position rather than the promotion or transfer then the Employee will receive the same rate of pay as the promotion or transfer position.
