TRANSFER SCHEDULE
The Morris School District Board of Education recognizes its responsibility in maintaining the vitality of the curriculum and the relevance of the educational program through appropriate assignment of certificated staff throughout Morris School District schools. Changes in certificated staff assignments initiate challenges which may cause professionals to re-visit techniques, re-invent instruction and re-vitalize professional energy levels. Certificated staff transfers also foster cooperative collegial relationships which pool the talents of professionals for the enrichment of student learning through educational practices which are value-tested and long-lasting in their influence upon the education program served by the Morris School District. Transfers of staff can also help with articulation between grades and schools. The Board of Education shall review the assignment of all certificated staff members every four (4) years effective January 1, 1999 for the purposes stated above. In so doing the Board of Education maintains the option of reassigning a maximum of four teachers per school and all principals/vice principals (where an appropriate position exists) among the elementary schools, Frelinghuysen Middle School, Morristown High School and Lafayette Learning Center. The reassignments will be voluntary as well as involuntary; and will be dependent upon the input from teachers (through written requests), immediate supervisory and Central Office personnel. The Board of Education further maintains its statutory authority to reassign certificated staff on an annual basis outside of the prescribed four-year review. Such reassignments shall be voluntary based upon available "open positions", involuntary based upon reduction in force, or involuntary due to mutually developed conditions in a Professional Improvement Plan. The calendar of the four (4) reviews of all certified staff follows: January 1, 2003Date: April 14, 1986 October 13, 1997, Revised June 10, 2002, First Reading August 26, 2002, Approved Legal References: N.J.S.A. 18A:25-1 Transfer of teaching staff members N.J.S.A. 18A:27-4 Power of boards of education to make rules See particularly: governing employment of teacher, etc.; employment thereunder N.J.S.A. 18A:27-4.1 N.J.S.A. 18A:59-1 through -3 Apportionment and distribution of N.J.S.A. 34:13A-1 et seq.
