VACANCIES, TRANSFERS AND ASSIGNMENTS.

2) Transfer from building to building;
3) Newly created position/program.
1. Whenever a vacancy arises, the Superintendent or designee shall post in all school buildings, for a period of seven (7) working days, a list of known vacancies and emailed copies of such vacancies to the Association members.
