Common use of Voluntary Transfer or Reassignment Clause in Contracts

Voluntary Transfer or Reassignment. Teachers desiring a transfer to another site, or a change in assignment to another grade level or subject area within their same site, shall be responsible for monitoring the job postings on the district’s website and applying for those positions that may interest them. The District shall post specific grade level and/or subject area positions internally, and teachers shall be afforded the opportunity to apply. Internal candidates shall receive preferential consideration to fill a posted vacancy before applicants from outside the district. As part of such preferential consideration, teachers who request an interview shall be given an interview by the appropriate administrator. In giving preferential consideration, the administrator will apply bona fide education needs and criteria and compare professional qualifications, including, but not limited to: certification, training, overall teaching experience and years of teaching experience in the affected subject and/or grade level. After consideration of all factors the administration shall recommend the candidate who he/she judges to be best suited to positively impact the academic success of the students and the mission of the District. Internal candidates who do not subsequently receive the position for which they interviewed, may request in writing, and then shall receive in writing the reasons they were not selected for the position.
