The recall process begins with the teacher being sent a letter via certified mail informing them of their updated job status.  Teachers have 72 hours from receipt of the certified letter to respond to the District’s Instructional Staffing department in writing, either accepting or declining their new position. This notice process meets the requirement in the Broward Teachers Union (BTU) contract. In an additional effort by the District to contact recalled teachers, a scanned copy of the letter is also sent for response via the CAB (Communicating Across Broward), the District E-mail network.
