PERSONNEL TRANSFER

The Superintendent may transfer any teacher or other employee, including personnel employed as principals and supervisors, from one position, school or grade to another by giving written notice to the teacher or employee of such intention to transfer.  Such transfer shall not be for political or personal reasons.  No transfers of instructional personnel shall be initiated during the regular school term, except in emergencies or promotional instances where transfers are required to preserve quality instruction.

The principal shall have the authority to transfer employees at the school in which the principal is employed, subject to the approval of the Superintendent. 

Transfer decisions shall be based upon performance, effectiveness, and qualifications as applicable to each specific position.  Effectiveness, as determined by the Vermillion Parish School Board’s personnel evaluation program, shall be the primary reason for considering a transfer.  Conversely, seniority or tenure shall not be used as the primary reason when making any decisions to transfer an employee.
