More details to this question:
I am a Special Education teacher and I have been in my building for 13 years. Due to personnel changes, I am being transferred to another school in the same district. My husband is in Afghanistan, so it would be a hardship if I transferred- childcare issues because of earlier hours and distance, a child that was recently diagnosed with mental health issues, and I would have to move all of my personal belongings myself. Is there any law or protection for me so that I don't have to transfer?

to be safe, i would ask the JAG lawyers for your husband's branch of service. they would be most knowledgeable. you could also ask the 'department of veterans services. i will ask our contact in veterans affairs if there are regulations which benefit you. i would explain your situation to the school in person and in writing. i would support your position with doctor's reports. i would request an 'accomodation'. i do not believe there are legal grounds which require the school to keep you in the present building. ed dimon, esq.
