I was told I’m not performing as needed in my position. I could either transfer or resign
I was pulled into HR by my boss and the head of HR . and was told i’m not performing as expected in my position. The HR lady said I do things well and they want to try and keep me in the district. I work for a high school district and for me to apply for open positions and let her know so she can reach out. I’ve applied for 3 different positions, 2 of them being minimum wage jobs which is making 5 less than what I make now and I haven’t gotten a call or nothing. I keep reaching out to the HR lady and she says she will reach out to them and let me know. Its been a week and she told me ‘at this time you will be contacted if selected. I will follow up with you if I hear anything’. They pretty much told me at the meeting it wasn’t working out but didn’t give me an end date or terminate me. I emailed the HR lady and asked what the deadline was for me and she stated no time frame was discussed but the sooner the better. Why are they being so fishy?

Unless you have a written employment contract (including a union agreement covering your position), you are an "employee at will." As an employee at will, you would have no rights to your job: they can tell you that you have to transfer or resign and if you don't, they could terminate you. They also don't have to actually help you transfer--again, without a written employment contract, you essentially have no rights at work. Seeking other employment elsewhere appears a good option based on what you write.
