Transfer Meet and Greet
Eligible individuals for transfer:
- Teachers who have been designated as priority transfers and those who are eligible for consideration for voluntary transfers may attend.
- Classified employees who have been designated as priority transfers and those who are eligible for consideration for voluntary transfers or promotions may also attend the Meet and Greet.
- Only teachers who will be on continuing contract during 2020-2021 (currently P3, PC, or C) and who are not on Performance Improvement Plans are eligible for voluntary teacher transfers.
Note: A teacher who receives a voluntary transfer must spend three years in that assignment before being eligible for another voluntary transfer. (A teacher accepting a voluntary transfer for the 2020-2021 school year will be eligible for a transfer in fall 2023.)
Once allocations are received, any individuals who are designated as priority transfers will be notified.
