The district recognizes that assigning qualified staff members to positions throughout the district
is essential to providing an excellent educational program for all students. Every effort will be
made to assign district staff to areas of the greatest need for the benefit of the students. The
district will accept requests for transfer from employees, but will only honor those requests when
it is in the best interest of the district and the educational program to do so.
Definitions
Assignment -- Placement in a particular position or building by the district.
Transfer -- Reassignment by the district at the request of the employee.
Assignments
The Board directs the superintendent to assess the staffing needs of the district annually and to
assign support staff as necessary to meet those needs. Although the superintendent will take the
employee’s expressed preference into consideration, the ultimate decision must be based on the
district’s needs. The superintendent may reassign staff members to different positions or buildings
at anytime, including after a contract has been signed or in the middle of the school year, so long
as written explanation is provided prior to the reassignment or repositioning.
Transfers
Support staff may request a transfer to a different position or building by submitting the
appropriate form to the superintendent or designee. Transfer requests for the following school
year must be submitted on or before March 1.
Transfers in the middle of the year are discouraged and will be considered only in extraordinary
circumstances. Support staff requesting a transfer in the middle of the year must submit the
appropriate form and discuss the request with both the employee’s immediate supervisor and the
superintendent or designee. Although the superintendent will take the employee’s expressed
preference into consideration, the ultimate decision must be based on the district’s needs.
