This Saturday, February 7th from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., the Vail School District is hosting a job fair for teachers. If you’ve ever wanted to work at one of the top rated school districts in the country (or if you have teacher friends who envy our beautiful weather and are looking for a reason to move out here) this event is for you.
The fair is taking place at Desert Sky Middle School on 9850 E. Rankin Loop. The district is recruiting for teachers in all grades and subjects, including Special Education and Speech Language Pathologists.
Walk-ins are welcome, but only if there is availability. Scheduling your interview appointment in advance is highly recommended.
Aside from the school district being one of the best in the state, Vail School District also offers incentive opportunities, performance pay, mentors and coaches, professional development on-site and through district, and competitive benefits. Speech Language Pathologists receive sign-on and retention incentives above and beyond the already attractive benefits being offered.
