What factors do districts use to determine whom to interview?
School districts have an obligation to fill vacancies with qualified candidates. Teachers already employed by a district who are requesting a transfer, candidates who hold a teaching license in an area other than early childhood special education (ECSE), and candidates with the majority of their coursework completed for ECSE licensure are typically given priority consideration for open positions. When school district vacancies are greater than the number of licensed candidates, districts hire individuals on a letter of authorization.
