What does it mean by the principal having up to 10% discretion in staffing?
The Principal will have the capacity to appoint up to 10% of the teaching staff. This may occur through the teacher transfer process/relocation process or direct appointment. Currently, investigations are occurring around the establishment of a process for NP School’s similar to the Partners for Success (P4S) Schools, where teachers looking to apply for a NP School would be required to complete an expression of interest outlining the skills and study they have to support their appointment to these schools. Principals will also have the capacity to identify teachers for transfer. These transfers (unless requested by the teacher following a discussion with their principal) would be required transfers and would be subject to the required transfer provisions of the Teacher Transfer Guidelines.
