When should I apply?
We have an open application period all year round, so you may apply at any time
whether there is a position open or not. Most applications are submitted between
April and September each year during our busy hiring season.
How can I find out about open positions?
You may view openings (and apply) by visiting our web site: www.renton.wednet.edu.
When you view current openings from within your online application account,
an "apply" button will appear to the far right of each job listing.
Just click it to apply. It is not necessary to write a letter of interest
for each position. We also have a twenty-four hour job line which is updated
regularly, announcing all open positions. The job line telephone number is
(425) 204-2305. We also post positions in the
District Office.
May I apply for more than one position?
Certainly, you may apply for any open position for which you feel qualified
and/or in which you are interested.
How long is my application kept on file?
We keep your application active for one year from the date your application
is received. When you provide updated information for your application, either
via an online electronic update or submission of new information (e.g. new letters
of recommendation), your file remains active for one year from the most recent
update.
If I apply for a position and another similar
position occurs after I apply, will I automatically be considered for that second
position?
You are automatically eligible for all positions for which you are qualified,
however, you are advised to watch for new openings and apply specifically for
each one to be assured of consideration.
Do I need to come in every time I want to
apply for a position?
You do not have to come to Human Resources, but you must have a complete
application on file.
When do you interview for positions that
are shown as "open until filled"?
As soon as there are sufficient qualified candidates to create an interview
pool. With hard-to-fill positions, an interview may be scheduled with only a
single qualified candidate if other qualified candidates are not available.
When do you post your open positions?
We post newly opened positions as they occur.
What kind of qualifications do I need to
work in the Renton School District?
Each position posting has a list of preferred and/or required qualifications
needed to be eligible for that specific position.
What do I need to do to get released from
my contract with my current school district employer?
If you have signed a contract with another school district, you must be released
before signing a contract with Renton School District. Upon receiving a written
offer of employment (Letter of Intent) from the Renton School District, you
must request in writing that your current school district release you from
your contractual obligation. They will advise you whether you will be released
and under what circumstances. If you are interviewing in August, which is
considered late in the hiring season, your current district must be notified
that you are seeking employment elsewhere.
Are you actively recruiting minority applicants?
Yes. As a part of our Employment Affirmative Action Plan and our District goals,
we continue to place a major emphasis on attracting, recruiting and hiring qualified
minority candidates.
What about disabled applicants?
We encourage disabled applicants to apply for employment in our District.
What if I need an accommodation to complete
these materials ?
To request accommodation during the process contact Human Resources for
assistance. For specific information on ADA only, please contact Frederick
Streeck, the Executive Director for Special Programs and Services, Renton School
District ADA Coordinator at 425-204-2421. TDD 425-204-2402.
If I have questions about your equal employment
opportunity policies, whom do I contact?
Marsha Rockabrand, Applications, Selection and Recruiting Coordinator,
Human Resources at (425) 204-2350 or personnel@renton.wednet.edu.
How will I be notified regarding an interview?
You will be notified by telephone or email if you have been selected to interview
for an opening. We prefer to notify candidates several days in advance, but
during our peak hiring in the spring and summer, it is not always possible,
so we appreciate your flexibility.
Will I be able to work in a smoke-free
environment?
Yes, our District complies with State law, which prohibits the use
of tobacco on any District property. We are committed to providing a tobacco-free
environment for all. We also are committed to providing a safe environment,
both weapon & drug free.
Do I need to be a citizen of the United
States?
We will hire United States citizens and aliens lawfully authorized to work in
the United States in accordance with the Immigration Reform and Control Act
of 1986 (Title 8,US Code, Section 1.324A). All new employees are required to
complete an Employment Eligibility Verification Form (I-9), issued by the US
Immigration and Naturalization Service, which requires documentation to establish
this eligibility.
What if I do not have a current Washington
state certificate?
Any offer of employment will be contingent upon your holding a valid Washington
state certificate. You may apply for a certificate through the state certification
office at:
Office of State Superintendent of Public Instruction
Old Capital Building
