Employment Guidelines

Personal Interviews

  • Selected candidates will be initially interviewed and assessed by District staff members.
  • Following the initial interview, selected candidates may be invited to return for an additional interview. Those candidates who are selected to move through the interview process will have the opportunity to demonstrate skills specific to the role for which they are seeking.
  • The final step in the process for all potential professional candidates will include an interview with the Superintendent.

Letters of Recommendation
Recent letters of recommendation from a minimum of three individuals who can attest to the professional competency of the candidates and one individual who can provide a character reference must be provided for employment consideration. The written references must reflect outstanding professional competency and excellent character for employment consideration.

Approval Process
Following success in the initial interview process, the name(s) of the successful candidate(s) will be submitted to the School Board for approval. Caucus meetings are held on the 2nd Thursday of each month at 7:00 PM and board meetings are held on the 3rd Thursday of each month at 7:00 PM, unless otherwise stated. After Board approval is received, new hires will be required to visit the Central Office to complete paperwork necessary for employment. A position will be offered conditionally to a candidate subject to the approval of the Western Beaver County School Board, receipt of clearances, and successful completion of a physical examination and drug screening, reference checks, and verification of documents. The physical examination and drug screening will be the responsibility of the candidate with the cost of the drug screening (and physical, if performed by the District's doctor) paid by the District.
