Jerome Joint School District No. 261

ADMINISTRATION 6340

Reassignment of Administrative Employees

The board has the right to reassign administrative employees on a contract to non‐administrative positions with

appropriate reduction of salary from preexisting salary levels. In the event the board reassigns an administrative

employee to a non‐administrative position, the board will give the employee written notice with a statement of

the reason for the reassignment. The employee, upon written request to the board, will be entitled to an informal

review of that decision.

For the purposes of this policy, “administrative employees” are defined as certificated staff in administrative or

supervisory positions within the district (i.e. elementary principal, assistant principal, director).

The administrative employee must request an informal review within ten (10) days of the date notice of

reassignment is mailed or hand delivered to the employee. The employee will be given an opportunity to meet

with the board in executive session within fifteen (15) days of the date the informal review is filed and explain why

they disagree with the board’s decision. A representative of their choice may represent the employee, and the

employee or the representative may present evidence. If the employee decides to have their attorney present, the

employee must notify the district of their intent at the time they request the informal review with the board. The

board will notify the employee in writing of its final decision in the matter within fifteen (15) days of the date of

the informal review.
