Response Notes

Responsive to this request, and per clarification you are seeking “district DEI goals specifically related to staff/ teacher hiring, teacher job application questions, teacher job interview questions, DEI documents specifically related to teacher hiring” please find available records below. Additionally, no record of teacher job interview questions for the entire school system exists. For reference, once teachers are identified as qualified following submission of the application above they are placed in a pool, and subsequent questions are determined individually by the school at the time of an interview.
