Professional Staff Assignments

Professional Staff Assignments and Transfers

            The basic consideration in the assignment of professional personnel in the Clay County Board of Education is for the quality of the program instruction. The appropriateness of the assignment will have a significant impact on the moral of the professional staff and the effectiveness of the total educational program.

            It is the policy of the Clay County that instructional personnel be assigned on the basis of their qualifications, the needs of the system, and their expressed desires. When it is not possible to meet all three conditions, personnel shall be assigned first in accordance with the needs of the School System, second where the administration feels the employee is most qualified to serve, third as to expressed preference of employees in order of seniority in the system, all other considerations being equal.

            In the case of vacancies in new or existing positions, favorable consideration will be given to qualified applicants among current employees assuming comparable resumes and qualifications.

            The Superintendent shall have the authority to make tentative assignments and transfers subject to Board approval. Board approval must be obtained on or before the first Monday in May of each year.

            All employees approved for transfer by the Board shall be notified in wrting by certified mail within 10 days following the Board meeting during which the transfer was approved.
