Itโs what recruiters from McDonald County Schools are doing as current teachers are retiring and others are moving from the district. ๐ซ
The team recently gathered several top prospects from the Missouri Southern State University Education Career Fair. ๐งโ๐ซ๐ฉโ๐ซ
Itโs just part of a push by school leaders to attract educators who are passionate, dedicated, and motivated to make sure our students are provided with the highest quality education. ๐๐
Hereโs a look at a story by KODE/KSN TV highlighting McDonald County at the career fair: https://www.fourstateshomepage.com/mssu/learning-about-teaching-opportunities-at-the-education-career-fair/
Just another way McDonald County Schools make a difference in the lives of every child, every day, whatever it takes! โค๏ธ๐ค
