Professional Staff Hiring
 
It is the responsibility of the Superintendent, or his/her designee, to determine the personnel needs of the school system and to locate suitable candidates.  No position may be created without the approval of the School Committee.
 

It will be the duty of the Superintendent to see that persons considered for employment in the schools meet certification requirements (or are granted a waiver by the Mass. Dept. of Education) and the requirements of the Committee for the type of position for which the nomination is made.

The following guidelines will be used in the selection of personnel:

 

  • There will be no discrimination in the hiring process due to race, color, creed, religion, ancestry, national origin, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, marital status, genetic information, disability, pregnancy or a related condition, veteran status, age, or homelessness .
  • The quality of instruction is enhanced by a staff with a wide variation in background, educational preparation, and previous experience.
