Teachers, school psychologists, guidance counselors, school social workers, librarians, attendance teachers, school secretarial staff and laboratory specialists may be permitted to withdraw a resignation.
Take the following steps:
- Contact the NYC Department of Education Office of Field Services at OFIS@schools.nyc.gov to inform them or your desire to withdraw your resignation/retirement. The Office of Field Services will inform you if you are eligible to withdraw your resignation/retirement. If you are eligible, you may proceed with the remaining steps.
- Submit an online application via teachnyc.net.
- Secure a position at a school. If the DOE is in a state of restricted hiring or the online teacher application is closed, and you are therefore unable to secure a position at a school, you cannot rescind your resignation.
- Obtain a Nomination Letter from the school that wants to hire you.
- Complete a Withdrawal of Resignation Form
- Photocopy the form for your records.
- Submit the Withdrawal of Resignation form with a copy of your nomination letter to Field Services. You must have the Withdrawal form notarized before submitting. Please see "Submitting a Withdrawal of Resignation Retirement Form" for instructions.
- On your first day of employment, complete and submit a “Commencement of Service upon Withdrawal of Resignation or Restoration from Retirement” form (available via DOE HR Connect) to the DOE Office of Field Services.
