PERSONNEL CERTIFIED STAFF TRANSFERS 5040 Page 1 of 2 The Board recognizes that certified staff should be placed in the school and/or department that best meets the educational needs of students. Therefore, internal adjustment transfers and personnel shifts may be used to maintain a proper balance of experience and specialized competence among the schools of the District when vacancies exist or there are changes in the enrollment of grades, classes, schools, or organizational levels. Consideration will be given to a qualified employee's placement preference when circumstances make it necessary to transfer certified staff. However, an assignment shall be based upon the qualifications of the candidate and the philosophy and needs of the District. Nothing in this policy shall prevent the reassignment of a staff member during the school year. Guidelines Voluntary Transfers A list of all known job vacancies, together with required endorsements and skill level, will be compiled and published on the Bonneville Joint School District No. 93 Web site. 2.
