[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there an advantage for a staff member to be involuntarily transferred?[/quote]

I believe involuntary transfers get to interview for open positions before they’re made available to other staff, so if you want to change jobs but stay within MCPS it’s a good way to line up a new job.[/quote]

This is not true. Involuntary transfers interview at the same time as voluntary transfers. However, if you can’t find a job yourself, the county will guarantee a placement within the county if you are involuntarily transferred. This isn’t normally great for either the employee (you can’t choose location or position) or the school principal because they get ”stuck” with whomever the county places there. It is much better to voluntarily leave and find another position.[/quote]

All true. They do make a priority location list, but depending on your content, you could be SOL. The principal is probably doing this b/c she's losing staffing and some teachers will want to stay. It sucks it's up to the principal - they can add or cut whatever and some staff get screwed. MCEA wanted staffing allocations to be public info and MCPS said no. The good principals share exactly what they get from CO and the bad ones keep it all secret b/c it's about who they're getting rid of that year.è[/quote]

They can cut programs, like music, languages, and others.[/quote]
