How do I find another position if I am excessed?

When a teacher is notified that she is in excess, she should register on the Open Market System for purposes of providing updated contact information. She will also have access to a list of current vacancies throughout the city and the right to apply to of them in her license area.

As of the summer of 2021, in most cases, the DOE no longer places newly excessed staff in the Absent Teacher Reserve (ATR) pool. Staff members who do not find a position via Open Market will be placed in a school in their district and remain there until they transfer or leave the system.
