A Message from the Office of Human Capital
Dear Educators,
Welcome back and Happy New Year!
In accordance with Section 24 (Vacancies and Transfers) of the contractual agreement between the Rochester City School District and the Rochester Teachers Association, probationary and tenured staff may apply for transfer to a new assignment in his/her current tenure area each school year. You can reference the full collective bargaining agreement here.
What is voluntary transfer?
Voluntary Transfer is the process allowing you as an RTA member to apply for transfer to a different school/program for next school year.
How do I know what positions to apply to?
Applications should be based on schools where you anticipate you would like to work. Vacancies will not be known until after the budget is approved by the BOE.
How do I apply?
Applications are completed online through ROConnect, instructions are provided upon login.
What happens after I submit my application?
Once an application is submitted, you will receive an email confirming school selections. During Transfer/Placement Day (May 22-25, 2023), if vacancies exist for the next school year at the schools selected, you may be offered an opportunity to transfer.
The voluntary transfer process is now open. Applications for the 2023-2024 school year will be accepted online until February 6, 2022 at 4:00 pm. You can access the site by logging on to ROConnect: roconnect.rcsdk12.org using a Chrome browser. Once in ROConnect, click on the RTA/RAP Transfer folder. Your username is your employee ID number, and your password is your current RCSD password.
Please note: the transfer process cannot be used to change tenure area. In the event you want to change your tenure area next year, to another area of certification, contact our Director of Recruitment, Selection, and Retention Amorette.Miller@rcsdk12.org.
