SAISD listed the following job openings:

  • Bilingual certified teachers
  • High school math and science teachers
  • K-12 special education teachers
  • Fine arts instructors, including orchestra, mariachi and choir
  • Librarians
  • Counselors
  • School nurses

Those interested in attending the in-person event should RSVP online. COVID-19 protocols will be enforced, and masks are required.

SAISD jobs fair, 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday, March 26, 110 Tuleta Drive, (210) 554-2240, saisdcareers.com.
