St. Joseph Public Schools is looking to fill about 10 open hourly positions before the school year begins, and are inviting any interested candidates to a job fair this Thursday at the District Administration building, 2580 S. Cleveland Ave. There will be a morning session from 10 a.m. to noon and another from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Open positions include bus drivers, paraprofessionals, food service, cleaning staff, substitute teachers and other support staff. District Human Resources Manager Megan Dongvillo says the most needed positions to fill are bus drivers and one-one-one paraprofessionals.
“Bus Drivers is one area that we are always, always looking for people,” Dongvillo said. “There’s only so many people that can drive buses. … For our students, [paraprofessionals] are extremely important because those are a need for someone to be there with those kids.”
Dongvillo said the district food service director and transportation director will be on site for both sessions, while Edustaff and Enviro-Clean also will be on hand to assist prospective employees. For more information, contact Dongvillo at (269) 926-3111.
