Teacher Hiring Process
Dallas Independent School District is now using a new teacher selection process to help us identify great talent to staff our schools. We strive to ensure every DISD student is taught by a highly effective teacher. The steps below indicate stages that candidates may advance through before being eligible to receive an offer from one of our principals. -
Open Transfer Period
The Open Transfer process allows current Dallas ISD teachers, counselors and media specialists who meet certain criteria to accept a new position at another campus for the following school year without approval from the employee's current principal. During the remainder of the school year, a transfer must be approved by both receiving and sending Principals and Executive Directors.
