    Have you applied at any of the urban districts? Columbus
    Public will be hiring now. I was hired two days before
    school started last year in Akron City. Try the urban
    districts in the area because the hiring is not as political.
    They are more willing to pay for experience because they
    have the money to do so. They even have positions to fill
    after school begins. Have you looked at the Ohio Department
    of Education web-site for job leads? How about Ohio Reap?
    Just a few ideas for starters...Good luck to you.
