Licensed Professional Candidates

In addition to submitting the application, a copy of your college transcripts and teaching license must be submitted electronically. If you are currently in the process of completing your degree, a copy of your transcripts prior to graduation should be submitted. All documents, including transcripts, license and two letters of reference, can be uploaded and attached to your application through the online process.

Our building administrators are focused on the daily educational needs of students; therefore we ask that candidates do not contact building principals to express interest in a position. The Human Resources Department will manage your application and can provide information regarding the status of your application and any open positions.

Successful candidates will be contacted for interviews. Not all applicants will receive an interview. The recruitment process for Platte County Schools is year-round, but specific staffing needs may not be determined until late spring.
