I forwarded the link to selected members of the GCS Board and certain individuals within Central Office. I heard back from two Board members:

I understand how one could be confused.
Keep up the good work! Paul

Eric, hiring is at a stand still as we face layoff possibilities. I doubt much of anything is open and administrative staff that are teaching certified will get first shot at classroom positions in any reorganization of staffing. Mission possible schools are now the hardest to get into because of the premium we pay there.

It's a tad bit interesting in some respects because as of March 16, there were over 40 positions listed on the GCS Website, from curriculum specialists to central office staff.

Hiring freeze? Hmmmm...

Instincts would say that if there's a hiring freeze, shut the site down...and don't engage in false advertising. How much of your taxpayer money did GCS pay Yahoo to run that ad on Hot Jobs?

E.C. :)
