CRITERIA for assignment
The principal will assign staff members’ time in a manner
that will:
1.
Fully support
implementation of our School Improvement Plan and our Student Assignment
Policy.
2.
Take into
account staff members’ requests to vary their work particularly if a teacher
has made past requests for a change or has been in a particular assignment for
multiple years.
3.
Take into
account different teachers’ strengths and in-depth knowledge of specific topics.
4.
Take into
account specific student needs based on student performance data.
5.
Respect state
certification requirements and the parameters of district job classifications.
ASSIGNMENTS BASED ON CRITERIA
To complete assignments, the principal will:
1.
In March,
invite all returning staff members to indicate their preference for continuing
or changing assignments the next year, including classroom assignments,
extra-duty assignments, and other responsibilities.
2.
In April, meet
with any individual staff members whose requests may be difficult to grant to
discuss reasons for the staff member’s interest, factors making it difficult to
grant the requests, and possible solutions.
3.
In May, assign
staff members based on the criteria in the first section of this policy.
4.
In August,
notify the council of how all staff members have been assigned.
ALTERING ASSIGNMENTS
After making assignments, the principal may alter them:
1.
When necessary
to respond to unanticipated enrollment or staffing changes.
2.
When the
principal and the affected teachers agree that a change is needed.
3.
When the
council changes other policies or the School Improvement Plan and recognizes in
the minutes that those changes may require staff time assignment changes that
cannot be put off until the next school year.
We
will evaluate the effectiveness of this policy through our School Improvement
Planning Process.
