NOTE: You may scan these documents into your online application; however, the originals will be required to have a complete application if hired.

Applicants will be asked to complete their file by providing a letter of interest in a specific posted vacancy and three letters of recommendation (less than a year old). A new letter of interest is required for each posted administrative position.

The hiring officer will review the files of applicants submitting a specific letter of interest for a posted job. Interviews will be set up. The hiring officer will check references and formally recommend an applicant for employment. The superintendent of schools and the Board of Trustees must approve all recommendations for employment.

Please bring a money order addressed to Jackson Public Schools for $32.00 to the Office of Human Resources.
