Staffing transfer
The staffing transfer procedure helps boards to make use of the specialist staff in other schools. It enables a transfer of staffing to a school wishing to use the services of specialist teachers employed by other schools.
Transfer of staffing between schools will not be actioned by the Ministry unless a formal agreement has been signed by both parties.
New staffing transfer agreements
New staffing transfer agreements should be submitted to the
Resourcing Division in the year prior to the transfer taking
effect.
Recipient schools are responsible for ensuring the Resourcing
Division receives a copy of the transfer of staffing agreement.
Without copies of these agreements, the Resourcing Division
cannot action the transfer(s) of staffing.
Staffing transfer forms are available at: www.minedu.govt.nz/resourcingforms.
Recurrence of staffing
transfer agreements
Where an end date is not specified in the agreement an assumption
is made that the transfer of staffing remains ongoing and in
force until the Resourcing Division is informed otherwise.
Any changes to an agreement will require a new staffing transfer
agreement
to be completed.
Updating a staffing transfer
agreement
Only one staffing transfer agreement per specialist service may
be in place at any one time. A new staffing transfer therefore
supersedes and is not additional to the previous arrangement.
Ending a staffing transfer
agreement
Where a board decides to end a staffing transfer agreement, the
written consent of both boards party to the agreement is
required.
