Transfer Requests are for San Diego Unified School District Classified Employees. Only one transfer application can be submitted per posting period.

Approved transfer requests through this posting will remain active from the date the application is submitted through December 31, 2026. It is the responsibility of the employee to keep transfer requests current. To cancel your transfer request prior to the expiration date, email jobs@sandi.net.

The Classified Transfer Request application is only available for Permanent and Permanent/Probationary San Diego Unified School District classified employees. Probationary and substitute hourly employees are not eligible for a transfer.

A transfer is a voluntary change of an assignment from one site or program to another site or program. Human Resources maintains lists for job titles/classifications of individuals who meet the transfer criteria. In accordance with the Classified Employment Regulations, Human Resources refers a transfer list to hiring managers when sites and departments have vacancies.

TRANSFER OPPORTUNITIES:

Permanent and Permanent/Probationary Employees in monthly position may submit a transfer application for job titles/classifications that may or may not have a current vacancy. If you see that Human Resources is recruiting for a position in your current job classification or closely related classification, you may submit a transfer request for consideration. If there is a current job posting for a vacancy, employees on the approved transfer list are not required to participate in the recruitment examination process. All eligible employees on the approved transfer list for the job classification with a vacant position are referred to the hiring department.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:

Applicants must be a Permanent or Permanent/Probationary San Diego Unified School District employee.

Permanent Employee: The employment status of an employee who has successfully completed the prescribed probationary period.
Permanent/Probationary Employee: An employee who has previously attained permanent status and is currently serving a new probationary period in a different classification.

Eligible employees may transfer to the same classification they currently hold OR request a transfer to a closely related classification. A closely related classification is a classification which has been designated by Human Resources to have sufficiently similar duties and minimum qualifications to make a change of status compatible. The classification must be at or below your current classification salary range.
