8. Effective this school year, central school vacancies should be deployed to remote barangays especially in schools with multigrade and/or combination classes. This can be done divisions/districts wise.
9. Should there be identified excess teachers in a division, the Regional Director shall submit a recommendation for the transfer of the items to another division within the region upon previous approval by DBM and the DECS.
