Our Selection Process

1. Submit your Online Application

Once a position has been posted and advertised, the administrator will begin to review all applications for specific positions. Please be prepared to include supporting information as attachments with your application (i.e. letters of recommendation, a copy of your MA educator's license, transcripts, resume, cover letter).

Important: If applying for a teaching role, It is very important that you clearly state your Massachusetts DESE license area and status in your cover letter and resume since appropriate licensure is a condition of employment in all Massachusetts public schools.

2. Invitation to Interview

The hiring administrator will contact candidates of interest directly via email to schedule an interview. As long as you have completed and submitted the online application, rest assured that we have your information and will follow up with you when appropriate.

3. Interviews

The interview process will vary depending on the position you are applying for. For teaching positions, short screening interviews are often held to give hiring administrators the opportunity to meet as many viable candidates as possible. The next step is an interview by a committee made up of administrators and subject/grade level teachers. Candidates moving on to the next level will be invited to present a demonstration lesson in front of students. 

4. Final Interview with the Superintendent (For Administrators & Unit A/B Licensed Staff)

One or two candidates for each position will be recommended to interview with the Superintendent. The interview will be a virtual meeting for most positions and will last about 20 minutes. At the conclusion of this interview, the Superintendent will confirm a job offer with the successful candidate.

5. Onboarding

• All Administrators & Unit A/B Licensed staff will meet with the Director of Human Resources after their interview with the Superintendent. At this meeting, the following will be reviewed:

  1. Salary will be determined (based on education and years of relevant experience)

  2. Paperwork will be reviewed to ensure official transcripts and proof of MA licensure have been provided

• All non-licensed staff will be contacted by the hiring manager and extended a job offer letter via the Human Resources Office.

• Once these items have been determined, an official appointment letter will be issued. The HR Director will explain the onboarding process and answer any questions.
