Home | How It Works | Stats Login | Register         Case: Wanting to work for another school district How did you let your current school know that you are looking for another job in another school district? I am signed an intent form to stay where I am but I would like to be at the school district that is closer to my home but I am nervous about telling my current school district that. Also, I have not signed a contract for next year yet. Is this a code of ethics violation? How do you transfer to another school district without upsetting your current school? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) In my experience, being upfront and honest about the situation is best. I do not think that many people would unfairly judge or punish you because you'd like to work at a school closer to home. If you approach the Asst. Principal over you with that information as a professional courtesy, they can at least know that they may need to fill your position whereas they may not have been looking at anyone with your subject/content area, etc. I think that they would be grateful, not spiteful. I did not move out of district, but I did leave one school for another for the same reason and I followed the above advice. They were actually incredibly supportive and helped me get the interview/job at the new school.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I agree with your solution.
