ISD Dallas is offering thousands of dollars in hiring incentives in hopes of attracting hundreds of new teachers. \
The starting salary is $61,000 and the county is working to fill 200-400 positions. Teachers can also receive incentives to teach math and science, career and technical education, speech-language pathology, inclusion special education and languages other than English.
Dallas ISD also offers an alternative certification program to assist those who wish to switch careers to enter teaching. Candidates can qualify for $4,000 in reimbursement of fees paid for alternative degree programs.
said Melody Tillman, Dallas ISD Special Projects Coordinator on the Human Capital Management team. “We have a lot of students who could definitely use a normal person in the class who just wants to pour love into the students.”
Tillman shared that new teachers will also receive a $3,000 hiring incentive.
The job fair is Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon at Conrad High School. Recruiters will be ready to hire immediately.
