Teacher Voluntary Transfers. (ref. Policy 1016) Teachers who are on a Professional Improvement Plan or a Formal Assistance Plan may not apply for voluntary transfer to another position or building. They may, however, be involuntarily re-assigned by the Superintendent if believed to be in the best interest of the instructional program. For lateral moves, teachers who are not on a Professional Improvement Plan or a Formal Assistance Plan and have experience in a similar position within the past 3 years will be given preference over other applicants. The teacher is responsible for filing the normal written documents with the Human Resources office. Moves to certified positions with either a job description and/or pay scale differing from the position which the teacher currently holds are not considered lateral moves, and therefore, the voluntary transfer process does not apply (ref. Appendix V). A teacher may request to transfer to a vacancy for which he/she is certificated prior to the closing date stated on the posting. Requests for teacher voluntary transfers shall not be accepted or processed from July 15th to August 31st. Teachers seeking a transfer or a reassignment to a permanent position are guaranteed an offer of an interview prior to the 1st round interview of external candidates. The interview of internal candidates can be one-on-one with the building administrator or designee. Internal candidates need not be notified of their status before interviewing external candidates. Requests for transfer to a position in another school shall be made via electronic request to the Human Resources Office. Requests for transfer within a school shall be submitted to the building administrator via electronic request. An electronic receipt request may be made by the employee. Requests for transfer of teachers will be promptly acknowledged. Transfers will be completed as soon as possible. Final disposition of the request will be communicated.
Teacher Voluntary Transfers. Any teacher presently on tenure or eligible for continuing contractual status in the coining year may apply for transfer to any vacant teacher position. Such application shall be written and submitted to the Superintendent. When filling any such position it is acknowledged that the Superintendent has the responsibility to evaluate qualifications and to make final judgments. The interests of the individual teacher shall be considered as well as the needs and interests of the students, building, or grade level.
