It is the policy of the DeKalb County Board of Education not to discriminate on the basis of sex, age, race, handicap, religion or national origin in the recruitment procedures or in the employment selection practices of the DeKalb County School System.
The DeKalb County Board of Education believes that the likelihood of hiring the best applicants increases when a system seeks a large number of applicants. Therefore, the DeKalb County School System will send written announcements of available certified positions to appropriate colleges and universities in the state and to the Georgia Department of Education. The system will also advertise available positions in the legal organ on an annual basis and conduct other recruitment activities.
