NORFOLK, VA – The COVID-19 pandemic has made shelter-in-place strategies the new normal these days. Consequently, Norfolk Public Schools (NPS) is taking a new approach to addressing an ongoing need – teacher and staff recruitment. On Wednesday, April 29, the school division will host a virtual job fair, from 8 a.m.-4 p.m.
“One of our ultimate goals during this time is to keep the school division moving forward in its recruitment of highly qualified staff. Traditional in-person job fairs are not an option right now. Consequently, we had to pivot, so to speak, and develop a way to address our staffing needs and yet still be conscious of individuals’ personal safety while also remaining in compliance with the latest state and national orders,” said Executive Director of Human Resources Tim Billups.
Registration is required, which will begin on Monday, April 20, and run through Tuesday, April 28. NPS is hiring for the following positions:
- Elementary Education, K-5, Teachers
- English Teachers
