Edmond schools to hold teacher job fair

EDMOND — Edmond Public Schools is hosting a teacher job fair from 4 to 6 p.m. Feb. 20 and 22 at the district’s administrative headquarters, 1001 W Danforth Road.

The Feb. 20 event is for people interested in a job in elementary education. The Feb. 22 event is for people interested in a job in secondary education.

Chief Human Resources Officer Randy Decker said the district will have open positions posted in the areas of elementary, early childhood, math, English and special education, among others.

“Edmond Schools is the fastest-growing school district in the state with 400 to 500 new students attending each year,” Decker said. “The need to hire highly qualified teachers to keep pace with the growth in student population is a constant challenge.”

Participants should bring several copies of their resumes and be prepared to meet with site principals for interviews. The district also is urging college graduates with nonteaching degrees to attend the job fair to learn more about the rewards of the profession. District staff will be available to offer information about alternative routes to teacher certification.

A full list of benefits can be found on the district’s website at www. edmondschools.net.

No registration is necessary to attend the job fair. For more information, call 340-2913.
