Priority of Assignment Clause Samples
The Priority of Assignment clause establishes the order in which rights or obligations under a contract may be assigned to third parties. It typically specifies whether assignments are allowed, if consent is required, and which party’s assignment takes precedence in the event of multiple assignments. For example, if both parties attempt to assign their interests to different entities, this clause determines whose assignment is recognized as valid. Its core function is to prevent disputes and confusion by clearly outlining the hierarchy and conditions for valid assignments, thereby ensuring certainty and protecting the interests of the parties involved.
Priority of Assignment. 5.2.1. All teachers assigned to a school, including part-time teachers and those on leaves of absence, may request and be granted consideration for any vacancies in their school for which they are licensed and endorsed [a] Educators who wish to be considered for reassignment opportunities must notify their principal. Educators may submit the requests any time but are strongly encouraged to do so through the survey sent out annually by the District. Requests for reassignment shall be considered active for the current calendar year only. [b] Principals shall consider reassignment requests from these teachers before selecting outside applicants or transfer candidates from other schools. [c] Job openings filled through reassigning staff within a school need not be announced or posted. However, before filling positions through reassignment, the principal shall consider any written reassignment requests that have been submitted prior to the opening being filled. [d] When filling openings through reassignment, the principal shall not be required to interview outside applicants or transfer applicants. [e] When it is necessary to reassign an educator from one grade or subject area to another grade or subject area within the school due to a change in enrollment or the dissolution of a job share position, the principal shall make the final reassignment decision(s) based on the following considerations:
(i) the educational needs of the school;
(ii) educators who volunteer for reassignment;
(iii) seniority of educators in the grade or subject area; and
(iv) educators’ experience, education, licensure, and endorsements. [f] Educators making a good faith effort to become licensed or endorsed shall not be involuntarily transferred or reassigned solely on the basis of their temporary license or endorsement status. [g] Principals may involve other school staff members in considering reassignment requests and making reassignment decisions. [h] No provision in this policy shall prevent principals from asking educators to accept reassignments or from requiring reassignments when deemed appropriate. Reassignments shall not be imposed for the purpose of resolving performance problems that should be addressed through a formal Plan of Assistance.
Priority of Assignment. (POA) rights shall begin at the beginning of the third semester following the semester during which the initial request was made. For example, if the adjunct faculty member makes the request during semester six (6), POA rights take effect at the beginning of semester nine (9). Semesters seven and eight may be used to schedule additional evaluations of the requesting faculty member. However, the act of applying for POA may not be used as grounds for termination, nor shall the District discourage adjunct faculty from exercising their right to apply for POA.
Priority of Assignment. 1. To the extent possible within the above parameters, academic units and campuses should endeavor to distribute equitably summer opportunities to work among members of the faculty. It is recognized that certain intersession and summer academic programs and courses offered to meet programmatic need may require particular expertise not normally present, or present only to a limited extent, among the full-time faculty of an academic unit or campus and that priority in assignment to courses to be scheduled is otherwise to go to continuing tenured and tenure-track members of the unit/campus' faculty.

For the Regional Campuses, after tenured/tenure-track faculty members on the campus and in the Regional Campus System, FTNTT Faculty members at their resident regional campus and then FTNTT Faculty members in the Regional Campus system are to receive the next priority in consideration for assignment to instructional opportunities during a summer session or intersession. This priority in consideration shall pertain, however, only to bargaining unit members who have submitted a letter expressing an interest in a summer/intersession assignment by a date established by the appropriate administrative officer. However, in an instance in which a tenured/tenure-track faculty member assigned to teach a course should subsequently decline or be unable to fulfill the assignment and another qualified tenured/tenure-track faculty member is not available and willing to accept the assignment, the expectation of the parties to this Agreement is that every reasonable effort should be made to make the assignment available to a qualified FTNTT Faculty member resident at the campus at which the course is to be offered before assigning the course to a part-time or non-university faculty member.
