Dear Administrative Applicant:
It is a pleasure to forward to you the enclosed application form. Please complete the application and return it to this office at your earliest convenience. Only fully completed applicant files will be reviewed to select eligible candidates for an interview. In order to have a complete application packet, the following must be on file at the District Office:
- A complete employment application
- An official transcript from each school attended.
- A copy of your most recent, active teaching certificate
- Please request at least three recent letters of recommendation from individuals who are familiar with your previous teaching/administrative experience.
It is impossible to interview all applicants. Therefore, whenever a vacancy occurs, the following procedures are followed:
The applications on file are reviewed by the Superintendent.
Based on the information and references provided with the application, individuals are selected and contacted by the Superintendent to participate in a personal interview. The Superintendent will select another individual to participate in the interview.
The Superintendent will determine two or three candidates to participate in a second interview with the administrative staff and two Board of Education members.
The Superintendent will make a recommendation to the Board of Education.
The Board of Education officially hires all staff members.
Since we receive numerous applications, each will be kept on file for only one year, unless we are notified by you to retain the application for an additional year.
