Staff who accept employment with the District are required to accept building assignments as determined by the Superintendent of Schools. Effective November 1, 2008, staff members will not be assigned to positions where they would be directly supervised by an immediate family member (father, mother, son, daughter, sister, brother, or spouse), except under special Board-approved conditions.

Under exceptional circumstances, the Board of Education may temporarily place an employee in a position where their immediate family member is the supervisor. The following conditions will apply in such cases:

• Employee evaluations will be conducted by district administration members who are not immediate family members.
• Employees will be transitioned to a different position as soon as possible to align with the policy's intent.
• The Board of Education must renew this decision annually through Board action to maintain the employee's placement.

Employees who held their positions before November 1, 2008, are considered 'grandfathered' and exempt from this policy.

Staff transfers may be initiated by administrative directive or by staff request. In order to facilitate awareness of opportunities, the Superintendent/designee will post vacancies on bulletin boards in each school. The decision concerning filling of the vacancy or new positions by transfer will be made by the Superintendent in consultation with the building principals affected.

An employee who desires a change in grade and/or subject assignment and/or a transfer to another building shall request the transfer on the prescribed form which will be available in the Personnel Office.

An employee must accept the transfer requested unless he/she has notified the administration in writing of a desire to withdraw the request and said notification is received by the principal and Superintendent/designee before the date on which notification of transfer is sent to the teacher.
