PROFESSIONAL  STAFF  ASSIGNMENTS
AND  TRANSFERS

Assignments

The Superintendent will determine all professional staff assignments.  Such assignments shall be based on the needs of the District.  In addition, no right to school, grade, or subject assignment shall be inferred from the standard teacher's contract.

Transfers

The procedure for assignment and transfer of professional staff members will be based on the needs of the instructional program.  Assignments may be changed to serve the best interests of the District and students.

Professional staff members may apply for transfer or reassignment, whether or not a vacancy exists.  Generally, transfers will not be approved during the school year unless the needs of the District dictate such approval.

It shall be the policy of the Board that professional personnel be assigned on the basis of their qualifications, the needs of the District, and their expressed desires.  When it is not possible to meet all three (3) conditions, personnel shall be assigned first in accordance with the needs of the District, second where the Superintendent determines the employee is most qualified to serve, and third as to expressed preference of the employees.

In the case of vacancies in new or existing positions, first consideration will be given to qualified applicants among current employees.

The Superintendent shall have the responsibility for the assignment of all personnel throughout the District.

The resolution of any conflicts over the need for a transfer shall be based on what is best for the instructional program, the needs of the students, and the overall needs of the District as defined by the Superintendent.
