Unfortunately every year, there seems to be KEA members who are involuntary transferred from their building due to the decline in student enrollment. Our office has received many questions as the time draws near to the process. The CBA agreement protects provisional teachers from being placed on the involuntary transfer list. This language applies to members who will be provisional next year. If a member will be moved to continuing status for next year, then they are eligible to be put on the involuntary transfer list this year. For more information, contract language regarding the involuntary transfer process can be found in Article IV, Section 4.9 (page 29) of the
Contract.
