The Georgia Department of Education is working to provide teacher recruitment and hiring assistance to 31 school districts in rural Georgia.
Teacher recruitment is a significant challenge in rural Georgia. The number of education graduates entering the profession is not equivalent to the number of teacher vacancies in schools. Additionally, many rural school districts lack the staffing necessary to conduct robust state and national recruitment efforts. The software will provide the platform needed to help rural systems actively recruit and hire candidates from an active pool of K-12 job seekers.
