Behavioral Presentation
You apply online, and as soon as you see a posting, plan to spend some time doing it. Then, you will want to reach out to all of your contacts with the district and have them put in a good word for you. It helps to go into the building and also drop off a paper copy. If administration is captivated by your application, they will call you to schedule an interview. Plan on having a committee present. They will do a phone interview if you are absolutely unable to come in. Hiring decision is made quickly. HR takes quite a bit of time to actually process though.

First there's in-depth background checks that take weeks, they even send reviews to your prior employers (3 of them). After all that's done, there's testing. Then you have interviews with people from multiple areas. Once the interviews are finished, you'll wait about 1-6 weeks to hear back.
