Kathy,

EVERYWHERE needs special ed of some kind. North Central KS
is a great place to live.

School Districts around Ft. Riley include: Manhattan/Ogden,
Geary County (this is Junction city and Ft. Riley), Chapman,
Abilene, Rock Creek, Randolph-Blue Valley.

There are tons of places that I m sure if you walked into the
District Office and said, "Im a special ed teacher" would
hook you up with a job.

KS Dept of Ed would be my first stop as for certification
requriements.

www.kansasteachingjobs.com is the next stop for a job.

Enjoy your move
