How long is my application kept on file?
We keep your application active for one year from

If I apply for a position and another similar position
occurs after I apply, will I automatically be considered for that second
position?
No; you will need to apply for any additional
positions that you would like to be considered for using the online application
system. We encourage you to visit our website frequently.
When do you interview for positions that are shown as
"open until filled"?
As soon as there are sufficient qualified
candidates to create an interview pool. With hard-to-fill positions, an
interview may be scheduled with only a single qualified candidate if other
qualified candidates are not available.
When do you post your open positions?
We post newly opened positions as they occur.
What kind of qualifications do I need to work in the
Richland School District?
Each position posting has a list of preferred
and/or required qualifications needed to be eligible for that specific position.
What do I need to do to get released from my contract with
my current school district employer?
If you have signed a contract with another school
district, you must be released before signing a contract with Richland School
District. Upon receiving a written offer of employment (Letter of Intent) from
the Richland School District, you must request in writing that your current
school district release you from your contractual obligation. They will advise
you whether you will be released and under what circumstances.
What if I need an accommodation to complete these
materials?
To request accommodation during the process contact
our Human Resources office for assistance.

How will I be notified regarding an interview?
You will be notified by telephone when you have
been selected to interview for an opening. We prefer to notify candidates
several days in advance, but during our peak hiring in the spring and summer, it
is not always possible, so we appreciate your flexibility.
Do I need to be a citizen of the United States?
We will hire United States citizens and aliens
lawfully authorized to work in the United States in accordance with the
Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (Title 8,US Code, Section 1.324A).
All new employees are required to complete an Employment Eligibility
Verification Form (I-9), issued by the US Immigration and Naturalization
Service, which requires documentation to establish this eligibility.
What if
I do not have a current State certificate?
Any offer of employment, for certificated positions, will be contingent upon
your holding a valid Washington State Certificate. For information regarding
certification you can contact:
