Eazesdropping

At the Christmas Party last week, I overheard Ms. F, the Special Education Director of our district, talking about how the district is taking back their mild to moderate Sp Ed program from the county. AND in doing so she is asking for more employees: LVN, SLP, and (drum roll please) a school psych! I about fell out of my seat! A possible job opening at Fairfield??? That is so awesome. Both Mr. P and Mr. H brought it to my attention as well (they were the ones actually having the convo with Ms. F, I was just listening in). Mr. P let me know the district always likes to hire those they know and that he would give me his endorsement (and he believed Mr. H would do the same) Mr. H wanted me to know about it, but also told me not to get my hopes up too much at this point as a lot of things can change before next August. Which is true, but I have to say, it is exciting that there is a remote possibility! Mr. H had told me earlier in the year that he anticipated more and more districts will begin taking back their programs from the county and it sounds like he was right as now I have heard that two different districts are considering it.
Guess I need to step up my game from here on out though, there is another intern at Fairfield so I have to make sure I shine. She knows her stuff so she will be pretty fierce competition should there be a position available!
