The APS Office of Human Resources is pleased to officially open the voluntary transfer period. In accordance with Board policy, certified personnel may request consideration for reassignment or transfer once a year during this period.  In other words, teachers, counselors, and media specialists are able to apply to other school site locations, without penalty.

The information on this page and links to additional information (located on left-hand side of this page) will help answer your questions about the voluntary transfer process.  The following short illustrates the submission process in six steps.  

Note:  Unfortunately, given the ratio of interested staff to principals, we cannot guarantee an interview for all that apply to positions.  We encourage you to upload any additional information that will be useful to principals as they screen for interview selection.
