Board Member Nancy Dvorsky, of the school's staff screening committee, informed the public the board received more than 50 applications for teaching positions at the school since they began advertising last month. Dvorsky said the school is looking for a lead teacher who will help select the staff and devise the curriculum and six regular K-8 teachers.
Salaries are to be negotiated.
Only seven of the applications were for the lead teacher position. Dvorsky noted they expected fewer applications for that position because not many teachers have the supervisor's certificate that the position requires. Overall, the board received less applications than they had hoped for but applications are still being accepted, she said. Dvorsky added though, she was very pleased with the quality of the applications. Probably two thirds of them were really strong.
