Involuntary Transfers or Reassignments. 1. A teacher being involuntarily transferred or reassigned will only be placed in a position which involves no reduction in rank or total compensation, no impairment of tenure, and only if the district did not find an internal applicant to fill the vacancy. 2. An involuntary transfer or reassignment will be made only after a meeting between the teacher involved and the Superintendent, at which time the teacher will be notified in writing of the reasons. No teacher will be transferred or reassigned arbitrarily, capriciously or without rational basis. 3. Members who are required to obtain an update in an area of previous certification and/or secure new certification for assignment by the Superintendent shall be reimbursed for the required tuition necessary to obtain said update or new certification. Such tuition reimbursement shall be based upon the course requirements established by the State Department of Education for said update and/or new certification. Said reimbursement shall be outside the funds allocated for tuition reimbursement established in this agreement.
