I don't think Sequatchie County is on-line! They are a really
small district.

Hamilton County Schools encompasses the whole
county---Chattanooga, Hixson, East Ridge, Soddy etc. Just apply
to Hamilton County, hcde.org. Our school year started a few weeks
ago, so I don't know how much luck you'll have getting a job now,
but during the regular hiring season, we have a healthy number of
openings. I do work in Hamilton County at a magnet elementary
school in the city.

If you like to be close to the mountains, try Bradley County
(north of Chattanooga). Cleveland is the biggest city there. It
is very close to some of the best kayaking/whitewater rafting in
the country. Great camping and hiking too. I tend to go to this
area more often than Sequatchie County for outdoor activities.

You are from Pennsylvania, correct? Have you ever visited the
area before? The reason I'm asking is that Dunlap is a VERY small
town and I would suggest checking out the area first before moving
here. I have family from Chattanooga and lived here for a few
years as a young child, but I grew up out West, and moving here
was a big adjustment.

go to ets.org and check to see if you've taken any tests TN
requires, yoy might not have to take more.
