Classified Application Requirements

Thank you for your interest in the Richland School District. Please read the following requirements carefully. The main body of the application is to be filled out online and you will submit it electronically. There are a number of supplemental items which must be submitted separately in order for your application to be complete (see below). Careful attention to the application and to providing all of the information requested is the most important first step in applying for any position. Everything you wish to have considered needs to appear in the application. Remember you are competing with all other applicants for available positions. Submission of the online application makes you an active candidate; however, in order for your application to be complete and considered for open positions all supplementary information must be received before the position closes. You will receive e-mail notification when all information to complete your application has been received.

Position openings are posted on this online application system as well as through our web site: http://www.rsd.edu.

To use the Online Application to apply for a classified position follow the procedures listed below (You may wish to print these procedures for quick reference.):

First Time Visitor (Do not use if you are a current District employee)
If you have not registered with our Online Application system, not submitted a paper application, and you are not an employee with our district, click First Time Visitor to begin the process.

Registered User (Do not use if you are a current District employee)

District Employee
If you are a current district employee or coach you do not need to submit a new application.  Please use the "Current District Employee" link to log into the system.  You will need your employee ID number which is your payroll serial number.
