212 Transfer of teacher

Current to 2025-12-11 · Official PDF

(1) A superintendent may, at any time during a school year,
transfer a teacher from one school operated by the board to another
of its schools.
(2) Subject to this section, if a teacher is transferred, that transfer
becomes effective not less than 7 days from the day on which the
notice of transfer and reasons for the transfer are received by the
teacher.
(3) When a teacher is given a notice of transfer, the teacher may,
within 7 days from the day on which the teacher receives the notice
of transfer, make a written request to the board to have a hearing
before the board for the purpose of objecting to the transfer.
(4) The board may set a date and time for the hearing requested
under subsection (3) that is not earlier than 14 days after the
teacher receives notice of the transfer unless the teacher agrees in
writing to an earlier date.
(5) Where a teacher makes a request to have a hearing before a
board under subsection (3), that teacher must not be transferred
until after the hearing is held.
(6) Notwithstanding section 217, if a teacher has been given
(a) a notice of transfer and does not wish to transfer in
accordance with the notice, or
(b) a hearing before the board under this section and does not
wish to comply with the decision of the board,
that teacher may resign from the teacher's employment with the
board on giving the board 30 days' written notice of the teacher's
resignation.
(7) Notwithstanding that 30 days has not passed from the date that
a teacher gave notice of the teacher's resignation under subsection
(6), the contract of employment between that teacher and the board
terminates on the board paying to the teacher the salary that the
teacher would have been entitled to if the teacher had remained in
the employ of the board for 30 days from the date of the giving of
notice of the teacher's resignation.
