Q. How will I know when a position is scheduled to close?
A. Unless otherwise posted, positions are generally open until filled. This means the position may close at any time. You are encouraged to submit your application as soon as possible. If a position is listed on our website, this means the position is still open. Once a position no longer appears on our website it is closed.
Q. Can I speak with someone personally if I come to your office?
A. We regret that we may not be available to personally meet with each visitor. If we are not available to speak with you in person and you have a question that is not answered on this FAQ sheet, please ask the Receptionist for an applicant request card and write your question on this card. Be sure to list your phone number and e-mail address so that we can contact you with a response. We will make every effort to respond to your question by the following business day. You may also e-mail your question(s) to careers@srpmic-ed.org.
Q. Do I need to submit a separate online application if I am applying for more than one position?
A. Yes. You must submit a separate application for each position.
Q. Do you have a scheduled interview date set for an open position.
A. No. Once a satisfactory applicant pool has been established, interviews are normally scheduled approximately one week in advance.

Q. What information must I include with my application?
A. All applicants are required to submit proof of immunization from Measles and German Measles in accordance with guidelines provided on the application form. For certified applications, please include copies of your official transcripts, certification, and your DPS Fingerprint card. For classified applications, if the position you are applying for requires special certification or college education you must include copies of your certification and/or official college transcripts. For Administrative applications, please attach copies of your official college transcripts, and copies of your certification certificate, if certification is required to qualify for the position. Some classified and Administrative positions require a DPS fingerprint clearance card; if this is the case, you must also attach a copy of your DPS fingerprint clearance card.
Q. Since I do not have a current AZ teaching certification, can I still apply with the understanding that I can obtain an Emergency Certification if I'm hired?
A. We only consider applicants who currently meet the minimum qualifications for the position. This includes having the appropriate Arizona certification. In most instances, we will make an exception only if the applicant is currently certified in another state and is simply waiting for their Arizona certification paperwork to be finalized by the Arizona Department of Education. If you are an out of state applicant please contact the Arizona Department of Education at www.ade.state.az.us/
Q. How soon after submitting my application will I hear from the District?
A. Our goal is to fill all positions as quickly as possible. Due to many factors we cannot give specific time frames for when applicants will be contacted. We do not give application status over the phone. If you want to know if your application has been received, please e-mail our office at careers@srpmic-ed.org. Once the first review of applications has been completed, those applicants with whom an interview is desired will be contacted immediately. If you are not selected for an interview you will not be contacted.
Q. Does your District participate in the Arizona State Retirement System?
A. Employees of Salt River High School (temporary and non-temporary) are required to participate in the Arizona State Retirement System. All others do not. Full-time (non-temporary) employees who are not employed at Salt River High School may participate in a 401k Retirement Plan.
