Hiring Timeline
Mid‐May: Certificated teacher openings are posted. Visit our Jobs page!
May and June: Internal applicants have first rights to open positions. Many of these positions go to internal transfers. During these months, external applicants often get interviewed and hired – it all depends on how many internal applicants apply.
July: Hiring teams screen and interview both internal and external applicants. Internal staff are still transferring throughout the district, but external applicants will start seeing more movement on their applications.
August: We are usually only hiring external applicants from August through the start of the school year, since internal staff can no longer transfer throughout the district.
September: Back to school!
