FAQs - What you may want to ask before you have to ask it!

Q: Does substitute teaching in your district play a big role in whether I am hired or not.
A: Substitute teaching certainly gives you the chance to know our school system better and we certainly encourage applications from our substitute pool. You may substitute teach while you are being considered for an opening. However, there is no district requirement that you have to substitute here before you will be hired.

Q: Do I have too many years of experience to be hired?
A: It is our policy to get the best match for the opening from the application pool. We hire both beginning teachers and teachers with multiple years of experience. We also hire both teachers with bachelor's degrees only and those with advanced degrees. It is the policy of the district to give credit on the salary schedule for all years of teaching experience in accredited school programs.

Q: What factors are considered before hiring?
A: Before offering any candidate a position, many different things are considered, including but not limited to, background experiences, references, college transcripts, responses to interview questions and the results of criminal and employment background checks.

Q: Would it be a benefit for me to drop by to meet the building principals?
A: In all fairness, both to the applicants and the principals, you should not visit the buildings without prior approval from an administrator in the Human Resources office.
