SAN DIEGO – As a new school year approaches, the San Diego Unified School District welcomes military veterans and their spouses to apply for teaching positions, in addition to a wide spectrum of other job opportunities in the field of education.
Heroes to Education, San Diego Unified, and seven other school districts from across the state are hosting a free, joint informational webinar today, Friday, July 28, at 3 p.m. to share information about opportunities in public education. Job openings exist in the fields of teaching( including substitute-teaching), paraprofessionals, skilled trades, operations, IT, diesel mechanics, school resource officers, and bus drivers, among others.
Military veterans, reservists, California National Guard members, active-duty personnel and their spouses are invited to attend.
Heroes to Education is a national non-profit organization that assists service members, veterans, and their spouses transition into educational careers. The group highlights opportunities and supports participants’ journeys from preparing applications through the placement process. Participants also receive support in their first few years on the job.
One of those on the national level developing Heroes to Education is Dr. George Ann Rice, who retired from the Clark County School District in Nevada with 34 years of service.
“Working in the public education sector not only gives people from our military community another opportunity to serve, but it is also a win for our children, who need principled role models as well as qualified, caring teachers in their classrooms and personnel who provide support for those efforts throughout the Districts,” Rice said.
