Putnam City teacher job fair set

The Putnam City school district will hold its annual teacher job fair from 2 to 5 p.m. Tuesday at Francis Tuttle’s Reno Campus, 7305 W Reno.

Patricia Balenseifen, Putnam City’s chief of human capital, said the district this spring is hiring teachers in a wide range of grade levels and subject areas for the next school year. New teachers in the district will replace teachers that are retiring, relocating or moving on, and in some cases increase the number of teachers in the district in order to lower class sizes, Balenseifen said.

Teachers interested in Putnam City can attend the job fair and meet and visit with principals, assistant principals and teachers from each district school. Each school will have fact sheets and lists of known openings available to share with job fair attendees. Principals will conduct job interviews with some candidates at the event and make arrangements for other candidates to drop by the school for an interview in the days after the job fair.

Prospective teachers who attend the job fair should bring multiple copies of their resume to share with schools in which they are interested in teaching. No registration is required to attend the job fair.

Putnam City, the state’s fifthlargest district, has about 19,500 students in 27 schools.
