The Association recognizes the right of the Board to assign teachers employed by the Board to schools and classes under the jurisdiction of the Board.

A teacher who is to be transferred within the District shall be given reasonable written notice of the proposed transfer.

The reasons for transfer shall be included in the written notice of the transfer.

The Board’s right to initiate transfers shall always be exercised fairly and reasonably having regard to all the circumstances including, in particular, the educational needs of the District which shall be of paramount consideration, and as a secondary consideration the interests of the teacher involved.
