| | INTERVIEW PROCESS
HIRING PROCESS
Administrators conduct interviews and select a candidate for hiring consideration. A recommendation for hire is submitted by the administrator to the Human Resources Department. The recommendation for hire is not a final placement. The Human Resources Department must review all of an applicant's credentials and application information. At this time, all required applicant information must be completed or the candidate will not be officially placed into the vacant position.
Reasons that a placement cannot be finalized are: The candidate recommended was not properly certified for the position.There were in-district applicants eligible for a transfer.The candidate did not have a clear fingerprinting and criminal history background check or application information was incomplete.
Please keep in mind, if an administrator informs you that he or she is recommending you for a position, that is only a preliminary placement decision. If you are hired, you will be notified by the Human Resources Department if your placement recommendation is finalized. The letter you receive will provide further instructions about your new teaching position. |
