File:  GCKB - Administrative Staff Assignments and Transfers

NOTE: While Colorado school districts are not required by law to adopt a policy on this subject, some content in this sample reflects legal requirements school districts must follow. This sample contains the content/language that CASB believes best meets the intent of the law. However, the district should consult with its own legal counsel to determine appropriate language that meets local circumstances and needs.

A teacher who holds an administrative position may be assigned to another position for which he or she is qualified if a vacancy exists in such a position and, if so assigned, with a salary corresponding to the position. If the transfer is to another school in the district the transfer is subject to the consent of the receiving principal and is subject to approval of the superintendent and Board of Education.

The Board may consider the years of service accumulated while the teacher was occupying the administrative position when the Board determines where to place the teacher on the salary schedule.

The three consecutive school years of demonstrated effectiveness and continuous employment required for the probationary period is not deemed interrupted if a probationary teacher accepts the position of superintendent. However, the period of time during which a probationary teacher serves in such capacity will not be included in computing the probationary period.
