What is the process I need to take to resign from the DOE?

Resignation 
A resignation letter should be written at least 30 days prior to the effective date of resignation.  

• Resignation can simply state: “I (name and file number) am resigning my position from the DOE effective (at least 30 days from the date the email is written)." 
• Also, if they would like to maintain access to their DOE accounts, please inform members to add this to their letter.  
• This email is sent to principal who then forwards it to the DOE.   
• If a resignation letter is written with an effective date less than 30 days, a problem code can be generated, which will make it difficult to return to the DOE.  
• Also advise member to reach out to TRS and inquire about their pension and TDA. 
• When resigning advise members to fill out an OP44 form to get paid out for their remaining CAR days.  

Summer Resignation 

If a member resigns on the last day of school, they will receive their summer pay throughout the summer, however their health benefits will end in July, at the end of month.  If health benefits need to be maintained throughout the summer, resigning in August (and providing 30 calendar days notice) will ensure health benefits to the beginning of September.
