The Cobb County School District is in the market for educators who want to teach in the state’s second largest system.

The district will hold a virtual job fair March 23-25. Registration is open through March 21 for candidates to apply on the district’s website.

The fair will offer more than 750 new certified teaching positions at all grade levels, the district said in a news release.
