33-523. pRINCIPALS TO DETERMINE NEW STAFFING. The legislature finds that in order to fairly evaluate the performance of principals based on the growth in student performance at their schools, it is necessary to grant them more control over the hiring and assignment of certificated employees to their schools. To this end, no certificated employee shall be transferred to a principal's school without the principal's permission, unless the transfer is being made due to shifting student population levels, nor shall a certificated individual who the board of trustees wishes to hire be assigned to the principal's school without the principal's permission. As a consequence of this requirement, no new certificated individual shall be considered hired, nor shall a contract be issued to such individual, until a principal has given permission for the assignment to their school. In the case of a transfer that is being made due to shifting student population levels, the principal shall be provided with a choice of at least two (2) individuals to be transferred for each position to be filled, unless there is only one (1) individual whose certificates or endorsements qualify them for the position. For the purposes of this section, the term "principal" also means the head of school of a public charter school.
