1. In preparation for SY 2018-2019 opening of classes, Leyte Division management continues to promote the welfare of teachers who are qualified to transfer from one station to another. In doing so, this office reiterates the Revised Guidelines on the Transfer of Teachers from One Station to Another based on the provisions of DepEd Order No. 22, s. 2013, which must be observed by all schools in both elementary & secondary level.

2. Transfer of teachers from one station to another can be categorized into:

A. Teachers who are seeking transfer to another station which is in need of additional teachers;

B. Teachers to be transferred “in the exigency of service”

3. For teachers who are seeking for transfer to another station which is in need of additional teachers, the following situations should be given priority:

a. When teacher is declared excess by the SH and/ or his/her expertise/area of specialization is needed in another school/district/division;

b. The teacher has served for more than five years outside his/her home barangay/municipality;

c. The teacher is a bonafide resident of the barangay, municipality, city, or province where the school is located (RA 8190, Localization Law), as evidenced by the teacher’s Voter’s ID;

d. The teacher is joining his/her husband/wife in the same school (RA 4670);

e. She is a nursing mother (PD No. 603, Child and Youth Welfare Code);

f. The teacher’s life is in danger due to armed conflict, hostilities or other similar circumstances in the area where die school is located; or

g. He/She is in poor health condition, as evidence by pertinent medical records to that effect.

4. This office once again stresses 4.2 provision of DepEd Order No. 7, s. 2015 which says that “Upon a teacher’s appointment, assignment to station, and acceptance of the position, he or she shall not be transferred to another school until after rendering at least three (3) years of service in that school.

5. With the cited priority situations in paragraph 3, the office came up with corresponding points with slight modification on the output of the Seminar Workshop on the Ranking of Teachers (SWRTea) conducted last School Year 2016-2017, This is to objectively identify who among the candidates seeking for transfer to another station is most qualified, which has still to be implemented for SY 2018-2019 with the details below:
