[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If anything, this is a good time to remind teachers to read their contract carefully. [b]I never knew that[/b], and I worked in the county for years. I actually left because I didn’t want to be involuntarily transferred, and I had the sort of position that’s vulnerable to being transferred. It happened to me twice, and that was it for me. I’ve happily been teaching (not in MCPS) in the same school for several years now without fear of being moved. What happened to the Sherwood guy is unusual but an example of why the policy hurts teacher retention.[/quote]

You never knew which part?[/quote]

I have been a teacher in MCPS as well and had never heard of teachers being shuffled around in July/August.  There is nothing in contract allowing it. My impression is that it has only ever been used in the past perhaps when k numbers are unexpectedly low or to move specialized positions from one school to another for operational reasons.
