FORT MYERS, Fla. — The School District of Lee County needs to fill hundreds of positions.
Starting Monday, July 24 until Friday, July 28 from 8:30 a.m. until 4 p.m., the district will recruit new teachers and other support staff before school starts on August 10.
The county currently has over a hundred open positions and less than three weeks to fill them.
Director of Recruitment Suzette Rivera said, “This is a quick get to know you. It’s not an interview process...if you have to go the grocery store and you just want to talk to somebody in the recruitment department, we’re here to answer those questions."
"We want to at least start you as a guest teacher but we want to educate the community that if you have a Bachelor’s degree and it’s not in education, you can be a teacher,” Rivera added.
Recruiting staff will table in the main lobby of the Lee County Public Education Center. Recruiters will accept applications and resumes all week long.
