Several Jobs At Aroostook County Schools Open As Students Return

Back to school and empty chairs

There are some schools that have already begun the 2022-23 academic year, and the remainder of Aroostook County schools will begin classes in the coming days and weeks. While students are returning to a more "normal” year without masks and distancing, there are still many questions to be answered about the upcoming year. Primarily, how are we going to fill these positions?

This was coming way before the pandemic arrived 

Retirements and career changes have left many school districts locally, and statewide, in a scramble to fill positions for the upcoming school year. There are many ed tech, special education, bus driving, coaching, and teaching positions still open at many schools in our area. The best way to find out what positions are open at your school is to ask the administration at your school.

This might be the right time for you to enter the education field 

These school districts are just a few of the many across the State that are struggling to fill positions that have been opened up for a variety of reasons. It's not too late to make a career change, and you can make a difference immediately in your community.
