The Association recognizes the right of the Division to transfer teachers employed by the Division to schools under the jurisdiction of the Division.
The Division’s right to initiate transfers will be exercised fairly and reasonably. The Division shall, whenever possible, consult with the teacher who is being involuntarily transferred prior to making the final decision. In making transfer decisions, the Division shall consider the educational needs of the students, the administrative needs of the Division and those concerns raised by the teacher prior to making the final decision.
However the Division shall be guided by the educational needs of the students and the administrative needs of the Division.
In the case of a teacher who is given notice of transfer following May 31, and who wishes to resign before June 30 of that year, the teacher will have their resignation accepted by the Division provided it is offered in writing within 7 days of the notice of transfer.
The Division shall be responsible for the cost of moving a teacher within the Division if the teacher is moving at the Division’s request up to the amount of $2000.00 upon providing receipts to the Division.
