UFTers now have until August 11, as opposed to the Contractual August 7 deadline, to transfer without approval from the school one is transferring from's principal.
From the First Deputy Chancellor:
Dear Principals,
As a follow-up to the update you received from me earlier this week regarding additional budget flexibility, please be aware that the Open Market Transfer period for UFT staff has been extended to now close on Thursday, August 11 at 5:00 p.m. We hope these extra few days will allow schools to create new vacancies, where now applicable, and appropriately consider interested transfers.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your Senior Director of School Finance and Senior Director of School Human Resources.
Thank you, as always, for your leadership and work on behalf of all of our students.
Best,
Dan Weisberg
First Deputy Chancellor
By the time your initial interview, then your panel interview, do your "demo" lesson, and are offered the job, it will be past August 11th and you will have to get a release from your principal anyway.
ReplyDeleteOMT is a fraud.
ReplyDeleteIt is also starting to look like a NOT on time contract.
Not really @8:40. They know that if they waited until the last minute chances are you won't be doing a demo lesson. Nobody releases anyone.
ReplyDelete5:05: Yes your principal has to release you from your school if it is past the open market date
ReplyDeleteOf course 5:05, I know that. If you're a good teachers who add value to the school they are not going to release you. Thats what I meant. Even bad teachers have a hard time getting released because Principals are power hungry.
