Recruitment / Retention
Did you realize…
“Being a Georgia public educator puts you among the wealthier retirees in the United states.”
That might be hard to believe…but it’s true. And in the attached video, The Million Dollar Wagon, Dale Alexander proves this and highlights the one greatest advantage that many educators may not realize.
When a vacancy exists, HR consults with all principals, reviews letters of intent and makes a determination based on several factors on how to proceed. All core teaching vacancies are posted. When a teacher resigns or retires, an internal transfer may occur. Some vacancies may not be filled after careful consideration of the program needs within the school and/or across the district.
The Calhoun City Board of Education will accept applications for all classified and certificated positions that are or may become available. Applications on file are considered current for a period of two years and will be considered as vacancies occur. External and internal applicants may submit applications to the Board of Education using the online application process located on the Calhoun Schools website or a resume may be submitted to Dr. Michelle Palmer, Chief Human Resources Officer, via email. Letters of intent and on the job performance for all present Calhoun City Schools' employees will be considered as vacancies occur. If the employee wishes to amend their letter of intent, they may do so at any time. Employees may also complete an online application for any position in the district on the Calhoun Website.
