Hiring for the new school year starts in earnest in February, with many job fairs being held throughout metro Atlanta and the rest of the state in the next few months. DeKalb County schools will hold a job fair on Feb. 4 at Miller Grove High School from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. if you're interested in teaching in the district for the 2017-18 school year.
