A pool requisition is an ongoing job posting we keep open year round. It isn’t tied to a specific immediate vacancy. Instead, it allows us to collect applications from qualified candidates so we can quickly review and reach out when a position opens during the school year or when unexpected needs come up. By applying to the pool, you’re essentially joining our talent pipeline, and we’ll consider your resume as soon as a matching opportunity becomes available.
