GCK Professional Staff Assignments and Transfers

The Board of Directors has the right to assign or transfer professional personnel that is in the best interest of the education and instructional process.
Therefore, it will be the policy of the Board that professional personnel be assigned or transferred on the basis of their certification, length of service (in RSU 1 and in the particular school building), student enrollment, bargaining unit member expertise, and/or caseload numbers.
Care will be exercised by the Superintendent and other unit administrators to ensure that the school is well staffed with effective teachers.
Within the school, a Principal will have the right to assign classes and courses, provided this is done with full regard to the teacher’s area of certification and Board policies.
A transfer, reassignment, or special assignment may be requested by any employee, which will be given due consideration in accordance with the provisions of this policy.
