Central Independent School District is a rapidly growing district in a suburban setting.   (Some of you may come from an area in which new schools are popping up throughout your community – or perhaps you know some teacher education majors at SHSU or have some family members who teach – think about the personal characteristics and needs they would bring into this work setting.) The area is prospering economically and several new schools are being planned.  Currently, the district employees are quite typical of most school districts, with a mix of older experienced teachers and recent college graduates.  However, new schools means hiring new employees, and most of them will be new teachers.  The district pays well and can afford to recruit new employees with an attractive fringe benefit package.
