with that date.
If I apply for a position and another similar
position occurs after I apply, will I automatically be considered for that second
position?
By submitting a completed
application you file may receive consideration for any opening for which you are
qualified. In order to ensure that your application is considered you should

Do I need to come in every time I want to
apply for a position?
No. You never have to come to our
offices. Everything can be done through this online application system and US
Mail. Complete your online application, mail any required documents and apply
for specific openings. Documents that are mailed are scanned and electronically
attached to your application. They are shredded after scanning.
When do you interview for positions that
are shown as "open until filled"?
We will generally interview as soon
as there are sufficient qualified candidates to create an interview pool. With
hard-to-fill positions, an interview may be scheduled with only a single
qualified candidate if other qualified candidates are not available.
When do you post your open positions?
We post newly opened positions as
they occur, all year round.
What kind of qualifications
do I need to work in your school system?
Each open job has a list of
preferred and/or required qualifications for that specific position. To view
this information, login to the online application, click on Open Jobs in the top
menu bar where you can view and/or click apply for any open position for which
you are qualified. When you view job information you may click on the Detail
link to view specifics regarding this position and/or click on the job title to

What do I need to do to get released from
my contract with my current school district employer?
This only applies to administrative
and/or certificated (licensed professional) staff. If you have signed a contract
with another school system, you must be released before signing a contract with
our school system. Your current employer will advise you whether you will be
released and under what circumstances. Any job offer from our system is
conditioned upon receiving an appropriate release from your prior employer.
Are you actively recruiting minority applicants?
Yes. As a part of our Employment
Affirmative Action Plan and our District goals, we continue to place a major
emphasis on attracting, recruiting and hiring qualified minority candidates.
What about disabled applicants?
We encourage disabled applicants to
apply for employment in our District.
What if I need an accommodation to complete
the application process?
To request accommodation contact our Human Resources office.
If I have questions about your equal employment
opportunity policies, whom do I contact?
To request assistance or additional
information during any part of the application process, contact our Human
Resources office.
How will I be notified regarding an interview?
You will be notified by telephone
when you have been selected to interview for an opening. We prefer to notify
candidates several days in advance, but during our peak hiring in the spring and
summer, it is not always possible, so we appreciate your flexibility.
Will I be able to work in a smoke-free
environment?
Yes, our District complies with
State law, which prohibits the use of tobacco on any District property. We are
committed to providing a tobacco-free environment for all. We also are committed
to providing a safe environment, both weapon and drug free.
Do I need to be a citizen of the United
States?
We only hire United States citizens
and aliens lawfully authorized to work in the United States in accordance with
the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (Title 8,US Code, Section
1.324A). All new employees are required to complete an Employment Eligibility
Verification Form (I-9), issued by the US Immigration and Naturalization
Service, which requires documentation to establish this eligibility.
What if I do not have a current certificate
and/or license for the position which I am applying for?
You may apply, but any
offer of employment will be contingent upon your holding valid credentials as
required for the position. For those interested in obtaining teaching,
educational support or administrative certificates, you may contact our state
certification office at:
