Is a print advertisement always required?
It is preferable to use a print advertisement, but as the expense of a print advertisement cannot always be sustained by a district, the use of online resources such as the On-line Application System for Educators (OLAS) is an acceptable alternative. When sufficient candidates are expected to be available and a print advertisement is not used and no online announcement is available, the internal announcement may be substituted, with an explanation, in submitting the application. However, if sufficient candidates do not respond, the district must act immediately to recruit qualified non-retired applicants more aggressively.
