Declaration of Intent to Not Return (DINR)

Under the terms of the collective bargaining agreement between the Washington Teachers’ Union (WTU) and the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS), DCPS offers a $1,000 incentive to all WTU members (ET15, EG9) who notify DCPS by April 1 of their intent to resign or retire at the conclusion of the school year. WTU members who do not submit the DINR application by April 1, but voluntarily separate from DCPS during the 2012-2013 school year or at any point in the 2013-2014 school year are required to pay a $1,000 penalty fine to DCPS.

DCPS offers the DINR process because it helps identify vacancies early. This information helps DCPS plan for the Staffing season effectively and ensure that our students begin the year with fully staffed schools.

The 2013 Declaration of Intent to Not Return (DINR), formerly known as the DOI, application opens on Monday, February 18, 2013 and can only be completed online.

The 2013 Declaration of Intent to Not Return (DINR) application closes at 5pm on Monday, April 1, 2013.
