When completing the "Professional Experience" section, DO NOT write "SEE RESUME." The "Professional Experience" section MUST BE COMPLETED in its entirety.

Credential Rating
Depending upon the number of applicants, a rating committee may be appointed to evaluate the applicants' responses to the Experience Inventory. The top rated applicants will then be invited for an interview.

Interviewing Committee
Candidates will be interviewed by a Committee composed of District staff, parents, community leaders, job content experts, etc. The Committee will interview and rate the candidates and the top-rated candidates will be referred for a separate interview with the appointing authority(s). Candidates are not permitted to submit to an Interview Committee any new materials not already included with their application.

Special Screening Procedures
For selected administrative positions, top candidates may be given structured interviews (e.g., the Principal Perceiver) and/or a Managerial Leadership Appraisal.

Offers of Employment
The initial offer of employment for the successful candidate is made contingent upon:

• Confirmation by the Board of Education
• TB Screening
• Satisfactory crime records check
• Verification of required licensure (if required for position)

Upon satisfaction of these conditions, the candidate of choice will be sent a formal employment contract which will set forth the details associated with his/her appointment.
