School group memberships are not transferable. During the next renewal period for your school group membership, you will have an opportunity to add or remove members under your current group membership arrangement.

When you join NCTE or renew your membership, your membership dues are used for the delivery of NCTE member benefits. You may cancel your membership at any time, but membership dues are not refundable. You will begin to receive renewal notices within a few months prior to your membership expiration date. If at that time you wish to discontinue your membership, simply do not reply to the notices.
