Reminder Regarding 30-Day Advanced Notice Requirement for Teacher Resignations                    

In accordance with Chancellor’s Regulation C-205, all teachers who wish to resign from the NYCDOE must submit their letters of resignation at least 30 calendar days in advance of their date of resignation. Teachers were reminded of this requirement in the May 15 edition of I Teach NYC. Note that this requirement only applies to teachers who plan to end their service with the NYCDOE; as noted in the March 17 edition of Principals’ Weekly, teachers who would like to change schools within the NYCDOE should use the Open Market Transfer system by August 7 to find open positions.
