This policy was reviewed and revised in July 2011. We provide it here for historic purposes only.

Any employee not participating in or protected by a negotiated agreement may be maintained at the employee's current annual salary if transferred to a position having a lower rate of pay.

This policy shall apply only under the following conditions:

1. when an employee's position has been eliminated, or
2. when an employee agrees to take a lower position at the request of the superintendent, or
3. when the superintendent determines that the transfer is in the best interest of the district.

This policy shall not apply to an employee who is transferred to a position of lower pay because of unsatisfactory performance in the higher-paying position.

This policy shall not apply to an employee who is transferred to a position of lower pay at the employee's request.

This policy shall apply for a period of twelve (12) months, which may be extended at the discretion of the superintendent, from the effective date of transfer, after which the current annual salary will be reduced to that prescribed by the new position.

This policy shall be implemented and monitored by procedural directive developed by the superintendent.
