If your teaching assignment has to be changed during the school year, our negotiated agreement now provides for either time off to pack and move or payment for the time you will spend making changes and doing new long-term planning, and the money you will likely spend getting ready for your new assignment.
You can choose "three (3) professional leave days for the purpose of packing, unpacking, and preparing academically for the new teaching assignment. In lieu of professional leave the teacher may choose monetary remuneration of $124 per day. Any combination of leave days and remuneration can be used upon mutual agreement by the teacher and building administrator."
Note that the article applies to administrative transfers. "A transfer is defined as the movement of a teacher to a teaching assignment, subject area, grade level or building assignment that differs from the assignment issued to him or her on or by the third Friday in May."
If this applies to you and remuneration has not been mentioned, gently refer your administrator to Article 12 of the negotiated agreement. If you have questions, contact us at lneanews@gmail.com.
