Eligibility Criteria

Please note candidates must meet eligibility criteria for a Voluntary Transfer. To be eligible to submit a voluntary transfer request, a teacher or instructional paraprofessional must:

• Have demonstrated success on the T-TESS with no indicators recorded as “Improvement Needed” for the current year, or similar successful result if evaluated by a different instrument
• Be fully certified in the position they are seeking
• Not be residing in the United States on an H-1B or J1 Visa.

Please note:

• Transfers are for lateral moves only. To be considered for a different position, you must complete an application and go through the selection process.
• Application does not guarantee that a transfer will be granted, as all requests are subject to campus vacancies and their selection process.

IMPORTANT: Please note that as an internal candidate, you can only access the application process through the district network or VPN.

Best Practices for Candidates

After you put your name on the transfer list, FBISD Human Resources recommends the following:

• Let your current campus principal know of your interest in transferring to another campus.
• Send a letter/email of interest and resume to the principal of the school(s) of interest and then wait to be contacted by a principal for an interview.
• Plan to attend the 2024 Districtwide Talent Search/Hiring Event to network with campus leaders. The Talent Search will be held Saturday, April 6 from 9:00 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Travis High School.
