DeKalb County School District officials recently asked parents whether they are interested in teaching opportunities in the school system.
Parents with children in the district can complete a survey for the district to determine whether they can be hired as substitute or full-time teachers, according to a recent post on one of the school system’s Facebook pages.
The post said the parents must be a “qualified college graduate.”
“We look forward to supporting our parents with their professional job-related goals,” the post said.
On March 9, students in prekindergarten through second grade, as well as sixth and ninth grades, can return to in-person learning in school buildings. Students in the remaining grades can return March 15.
Families also can keep their children in online-only learning, which has occurred since last March due to the coronavirus pandemic.
“Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, districts across the country have looked to increase K-12 substitute teaching candidate pools for adequate staffing. DCSD is no different,” a district spokeswoman said Tuesday. “The district shared messaging to DeKalb parents encouraging them to apply for open slots, as we recognize that many parents qualify for existing job opportunities.”
