All applications are reviewed by the District. Only those applications that meet the job qualifications and may be a good candidate based on experience, education and job skills are forwarded to Civil Service for their review and approval. Once we receive an approval or disapproval from Civil Service, you will receive a letter from us notifying you of your application status.

If your application is approved, it will be submitted to the Director or Supervisor for the hiring department. For example, a bus driver application will go to the Transportation Supervisor for review and if qualified, will begin the interview process.

The Department head will contact you for an interview if there is an available permanent or substitute position. All applications will remain on file for one-year.
They are first posted in all school buildings, transportation office, and administrative office for 5 work days.

We also place postings on our website under "Open Positions." We will advertise in local newspapers when there are no internal and/or substitute candidates.

Your application must be Civil Service approved prior to bidding on an open position.
