Warm Wishes and Safe Holidays to All!!

Just on a personal note, I hope everyone had a great 2015! I thank each and every one of you for your dedication and spirit of goodness in the work you do each and every day!

As we careen towards the new year and the 2nd semester in schools, please know that school districts aren't finished with filling their open positions. This is the time of year where it actually makes more sense for them to use a contract service, as maternity leaves extend, spouses get relocated and caseloads increase. Often, these shorter term positions are best handled by a contract service, as all 80 of us are in the office 40+ hours a week specifically to recruit and take care of all the credentialing that is required of each of you before you report for duty.

So, having said that, I will also mention that all the open jobs you see on line are not always there; they may have been open when the job was posted, but could have been closed out by the next day. Some of them are also picked up by other websites who re-post them. (I've never understood how that is an advantage for their business.) The jobs flash off and on at a dizzying pace in here; I can barely keep up with it myself. It's always best to check with a recruiter that you trust to check on the status of the job in which you are interested. For this post, I am only listing the school jobs for which I am responsible, as I know the status of each of them. So....here ya go!

Bilingual (Spanish/English)SLP/ccc - Ft. Worth, TX

SLP - Reading, PA

OT - Albuquerque, NM

SLP - Las Cruces, NM

I know that's "slim pickens", but as soon as all the directors return from their holiday break, I bet they will return to countless resignations or moms who have decided to stay home with their baby until the next school year or just the typical shifting of life that comes about at the start of a new year.

Thanks again to all of you Special Ed Angels for all you do to advance the children in your community. I am in awe of each of you!
