How do I apply for a job?

1. An online application must be submitted before an interview can be given. Please remember to write down your username and password, so you can log in at a later date.
2. Once your online application is complete, you may apply for positions of interest and the work site administrator will be in contact with you.

Who will interview me?

The work site administrator will contact the applicant to initiate an interview once the job has been applied for through the online application. You do not need to contact the schools for an interview.

Does every applicant need to be fingerprinted?

Applicants do not need to be fingerprinted. The Hernando County School Board requires fingerprinting for all district employees and anyone who has been offered a job. Only when you are hired or offered a position will you need to be fingerprinted.  ALL substitutes must be fingerprinted prior to being cleared for orientation. The cost is $54.50 payable by credit card online at http://www.flprints.com or by phone at 1-877-357-7456. No other form of payment will be accepted.

How do I get certified?

Once you are hired for a teaching position, if you are not already certified, our Certification Department will assist you through the certification process. If you have graduated from a state approved teaching program and passed the required three (3) examinations, the Florida Department of Education will issue you a five (5) year certificate.  If this is not the case, you will apply for a three (3) year temporary certificate. Call Susan McKinney in the Certification Department at (352) 797-7070, ext. 446, regarding your certification. For more information on certification click the "Certification" button above.

What is "Out-of-Field?"

A teacher is considered "out-of-field" when he/she is not certified to teach the subject he/she is assigned to teach. If a teacher is teaching out-of-field, he/she must gain certification by taking the appropriate course work; successfully completing the Subject Area Exam (SAE) or workshops. A teacher cannot teach out-of-field in a core academic subject. Our Certification Department will be happy to assist teachers in meeting these requirements.
