Teacher Transfer Requests are now open to all tenured teachers desiring consideration for new assignments for the 2020-2021 school year. Teachers who are on a Performance Improvement Plan or who will be on an active improvement plan for the upcoming school year are not eligible to apply for a transfer. All other teachers are welcome to apply for jobs online as vacancies become available.

A web-based form will be used for submission of requests for tenured teachers. Human Resources will send your information to your current principal as well as your requested schools. See below for directions on how to access the Teacher Transfer Request Form.

Teachers interested in transfer consideration should frequently review the county’s Job Listings for opportunities. You must indicate your interest in a position by submitting job applications as appropriate. Teachers are expected to inform their current principals of their decision to apply for a transfer. Principals may contact other principals for references prior to interviews being scheduled. Please note: There is no guarantee of transfer.
