Article V Professional Qualifications and Assignments

A. The District shall endeavor to provide to each teacher a written notice of his/her tentative assignments for the forthcoming year sixty (60) days preceding the first day of the new school term but no later than thirty (30) calendar days before the start of the school year. In the event changes in such assignments are proposed, the teacher affected will be notified promptly.

In the event that sufficient volunteers who are certified cannot be recruited for such extra duty positions, then the Board will have the right to require teachers who are qualified to take such positions.

C. In filling positions held by teachers in the summer school program other than the director, priority shall be given to properly certificated teachers regularly employed in District 167.
