Note that these policies only apply to teachers. Support personnel have different transfer policies, especially in Caddo, and less rigid deadlines.
Caddo:
CPSB: GBM
A teacher transferred to a school or position must be certified and qualified for the position to which transferred. Should a person request reassignment to a lesser position, such personnel, upon reassignment, shall be placed in the salary schedule at the level of the new position. Procedures and timelines for requesting, reviewing, interviewing, and making recommendations for transfers of personnel shall be maintained by the Division of Human Resources. All teachers are eligible for transfer during the transfer period, regardless of temporary certification and funding status. Vacant positions must be requested using Caddo School’s official application portal. Transfers will begin May 1st and go through June 30th for the following school year. The Director of Certified Personnel, acting under the authority of the Superintendent, shall be responsible for approving the principal’s recommendation for transfers. Transfer recommendations after June 30th will require approval by the Chief Human Resource Officer. Teachers and the principals will be notified in writing of approved transfers by the Human FILE: GBM Caddo Parish School Board 2 of 2 Resources Department for the upcoming school year. In the event of school closures, those certified teachers affected will be placed first in any vacancies that occur.
Your personnel file/record is the ONLY thing a principal looks at if you are considering transferring to another school or another parish. Make sure you know what is in your personnel file, and that you write rebuttals for everything that goes in your personnel file.
