Personnel Policy 5215: Assignment and Transfer of Administrative Staff

Administrative staff are responsible to the board through the superintendent. The board shall approve the initial assignment of administrative staff at the time of employment. All such assignments will be consistent with the endorsement(s) of the respective principals.

The superintendent shall have the authority to reorganize and/or rearrange the specific responsibilities of the administrative and supervisory staff in a manner that will provide for the effective operation of the district. The superintendent shall, in considering any assignment or transfer, base a decision on such factors as the desired performance and/or expectations inherent in the position, the staff member's background and preparation, the staff member's past performance, and the impact on other facets of the district's operations.

A certificated staff member who is being transferred at the expiration of his/her employment contract to any administrative or non-administrative position for which the annual compensation is less than the position currently held by the administrator shall be notified in writing by May 15, or June 1 if the omnibus appropriations act has not been passed by the legislature by May 15, of the reason for the transfer and the position to which he/ she will be transferred.

If written request is made to the board within 10 days, the staff member shall be given the opportunity to meet informally with the board in executive session to refute any facts upon which the determination of transfer was made and to support his/her request to reconsider the decision of the superintendent. The board shall render its final decision within 10 days of the informal meeting.
