CCSD and Relocating

by Liz

Jun 27, 2013

I'm thinking about moving from Detroit to NV and wanted to know is it possible to get hired in CCSD as a re-locater. I know may places may prefer people who already live there. I teach elementary but also have my special ed. endorsement. I'm look for regular elementary positions.

Two of my friends who also applied just got offered positions with their MI certification and they haven't applied for NV yet. My application just changed to approved for selection so we'll see. They've had multiple calls. One friend phone interview was 11 minutes and then she was offered the job. They are both elementary teachers.
