TPS Needs More Teachers

KWGS News

Tulsa Public Schools holds another job fair for teachers, and turnout is good. Coy Nesbitt is Director of Talent Services with TPS. He says the district still needs about 150 teachers in all subject areas, with the highest needs in pre-K through 6th elementary grades, and special education. Those with certifications and those without are encouraged to apply. Nesbitt says the district can help those seeking emergency certification. A meet and greet and then interviews are scheduled. If more career fairs are needed they will be held in time to hopefully fill all positions.

Nesbitt says the goal is to have a teacher in every classroom for the first day of school
