Spring 2010 Staffing Dates

Any teacher who would like to know more about the DDSB's surplus and transfer process is encouraged to read the procedure on the Board's website. Once you are in the staff intranet area, click on the "quick links" pull down menu and select "Policies and Procedures". You can search by number or key word. In this case, enter "4235" to access Procedure #4235 "Surplus, Transfer and Redundancy of Elementary School Teachers". Every spring, the staff intranet area also has links to staffing dates and forms, such as the application to transfer form.

The following is a list of important upcoming dates in the 2010 staffing process:

• April 1 - surplus teachers notified in writing by their principal
• April 8 - all teachers who are surplus (including voluntary surplus), must submit the "Teacher Information Form" by this date. This form should be provided to you by your principal and is your opportunity to indicate your preferred geographic area and grade/subject assignment if you are placed following the transfer rounds.
• April 9 - Posting for transfer round 1 vacancies is available
• April 12-15 - Teachers apply to a maximum of three positions (apply only to those positions you really want!)
• April 20, a.m. - Round 1 of surplus/transfer teacher placements
• May 3 - Posting for transfer round 2 vacancies is available
• May 4-6 - Teachers apply to a maximum of three positions
• May 11, a.m. - Round 2 of surplus/transfer teacher placements
• TBA - Round 3, if necessary. If part time teachers have not been permitted to apply to increase their teaching time in rounds 1 and 2, a third transfer round will be held for this purpose.
