Brief Explanation:

  In accordance with Collective Negotiations Contract, a list of expected position vacancies will be sent to each school or department for posting. Also included will be the bid scan sheets to be used for bidding.

ELIGIBILITY

Bids from permanent, probationary, and Regional Occupational Program restricted contracted staff of the San Diego Unified School District who meet the stated position qualifications will be given first opportunity for transfer. Leave replacement and visiting teachers (except State Teachers Retirement System or Public Employees Retirement System retirees) may also bid (Article 33, Section 33.6). Staff members are encouraged to submit bids as quickly as possible and have the sole responsibility to correctly complete the bid scan sheet to prevent computer-scanning rejection. (See sample attachment).

CALENDAR CHANGES

All positions posted will commence on the start date for the 2001-2002 school year as determined by each school’s calendar. Human Resource Services Division (HRSD) will assist to provide opportunities to work a full contract work year for unit members returning from a leave or currently on a traditional schedule who transfer to a year-round schedule. Teachers transferring from a year-round to a traditional schedule will automatically change from year-round (12-month pay) to the traditional (10-month pay) schedule or may opt to stay on a year-round pay schedule for one year only. If this option is exercised, the following year will revert to the traditional (10-month pay) schedule.CLASS SIZE REDUCTION (GRADES K-3)
All teachers newly assigned to any grade(s) K-3 are required to receive training prior to starting the assignment. Training will be provided by the district on dates yet to be determined. Contact the Teaching and Learning Office at (858) 496-1861 for confirmation.

POST PROCEDURES

Before you submit a bid scan sheet, review the following explanations of the provisions of the transfer procedure. Your bid can be accepted only if all requirements for submitting a bid are met.
