All applications will be screened on a rolling basis. Only those applications that meet the eligibility requirements and the initial screening criteria will be granted an interview. The Commissioner will make the final decision, but may appoint others to conduct the interviews. The decision of the Commissioner is final. For districts with high need, the Department of Education will advocate for MINT participants and will assist in the interviewing process.
Final placement is determined by the district.
Final selection will be made based on 5 separate criteria, including, but not limited to, academic achievement and test scores. You will need to provide your own health insurance e.g. Cobra during the summer. Your health insurance and other benefits will begin once the new school year begins in the fall. Because you will be an employee of a local school district, you will receive benefits directly from the district. Benefits vary district by district.
