Non-Transfer Assignment Changes. Grade-level and subject matter changes in assignment at the same site are not “transfers” within the meaning of this Article. However, before making such changes, the site administrator shall notify and consult with the affected unit member(s) and consider in good faith the preferences and alternatives proposed by the unit member(s). If the District reassigns a unit member to a new subject matter or grade level at the same site, and the decision is made and implemented after or immediately before the school year has commenced, the District shall provide one day of release time for the unit member to prepare for this new assignment.
Non-Transfer Assignment Changes. Assignment change is defined as a movement within a school between subject area or grade level. After considering unit member assignment preferences for the ensuing school year, the administration will provide each unit member with a written statement of his/her tentative assignment at least 15 duty days prior to the unit member’s last scheduled work day. Prior to making any final decision regarding a change in assignment, the immediate administrator or his/her designee will discuss the proposed change with the unit member. If the unit member objects to the proposed change, the administrator will consider the unit member’s suggestions. The administration will then provide the unit member a written statement of the assignment, noting reasons for the assignment change, if applicable, grade level/subject, location, and effective date. It is understood that unforeseen conditions impacting the instructional program may affect the assignment change.
