G6100.04 - Transfer and Reassignment Resulting from Administrative Reorganization, Downsizing, or Involuntary Transfer

The following provisions apply to the transfer and reassignment of administrative employees during a reorganization, downsizing of the administrative workforce, or an involuntary transfer.

1. Downsizing occurs when the number of administrative positions has been reduced and there are an insufficient number of administrative positions in the District for each administrative employee to be placed in an administrative position for which he or she is qualified.
2. An administrative reorganization occurs when the district reorganizes how it provides services or assigns administrative responsibility. It may or may not result from a budget reduction or other reduction in the number of administrative employees.
3. An involuntary transfer occurs when the superintendent implements a transfer because he or she believes that it is in the best interest of the District. When the superintendent implements an involuntary transfer he or she will review the proposed assignment with the administrative employee and give the employee the opportunity to state his or her interest in or concern about the new assignment.
4. The superintendent, after consultation with the administrative employee, will determine the placement of the employee.
5. In a downsizing or administrative reorganization, the program needs of the building and District will be the primary consideration in determining which position will be eliminated and which administrative employee will be transferred. The length of service in a position or at a site will not be a primary consideration in determining which administrative employee position will be eliminated or which administrative employee will be transferred.
6. If during a downsizing, administrative reorganization, or involuntary transfer an administrative employee is assigned to a position that is currently a lower salary, the employee’s salary will be frozen (red-lined).The employee will continue to be paid at his or her current salary but will not receive a salary increase until the pay rate of the newly assigned position exceeds his or her rate at the effective date of the new position assignment.
7. If the employee moves to a position with a shorter work year, additional duties may be assigned that allow the employee to work additional days.
8. This administrative rule does not apply when an administrative employee is moved to a lower paying position or his/her compensation is decreased due to his/her unsatisfactory performance or misconduct.
