which require greater supervisory responsibility, authority, and leadership skills.
A transfer shall be defined as a geographical change from one school to another to non-
promotional positions within the bargaining unit, or a change from the designated area in which the
teacher spends the greatest portion of the teacher's regular work schedule to another designated
area.
An intrabuilding reassignment shall be defined as a change in assignment within a designated
area within a school.
A permanent vacancy is a vacancy in a position which is not eliminated by the District, and which
occurs by reason of retirement, resignation, death, or other permanent termination of employment;
or a new position.
Promotional opportunities and other District teaching opportunities because of vacancies and new
positions which the BOARD wishes to fill on a temporary or permanent basis shall, except in an
emergency, be posted for ten (10) calendar days prior to the positions being filled. All notices shall
be posted in the administrative office, and shall also be sent to the UNION by email and included
in email communication such as iNews or other school newsletters when posted. All posting
notices referred to herein shall delineate the duties, rate of compensation, and qualifications for
the position. All applicants not selected for promotional positions will be notified of the BOARD'S
decision in writing.
A list of known permanent vacancies for the following school year will be posted annually in each
school by April 15 and again by the last day of the pupil school year. Teachers desiring to be
considered for such vacancies will submit a letter to the Human Resources Director by May 5 for
the April 15 posting, or by June 30 for the last day of the pupil school year posting.
Transfer Requests
Teachers who desire a change in teaching or building assignment may file a written request with the District
Human Resources Office not later than

which the change is desired. Such request shall be considered valid for one (1) year as a bona fide request
for change.
