Teacher recruitment

Walla Walla team hits road to recruit teachers to district
Executive Director of Human Resources Chris Gardea and a team of local educators recently traveled to Spokane and Tacoma to recruit new teachers at large, statewide Career Fairs. Gardea will also be attending the Portland Career Fair over spring break. Equity and Access Coordinator Sergio Hernandez is visiting colleges in and out of the state to recruit teachers.

The state’s teacher shortage and competition to fill high need positions, including special education and bilingual education, is prompting more outreach to find quality educators to fill open positions, according to Gardea.
