Question about open market

Let me preface by saying I know NOTHING about this... but I am just considering every option for the upcoming school year. I am miserable in my current school.

I looked on open market tonight and see some openings that look interesting to me. Can I contact the school directly?

Sorry if this is a stupid question Chat Icon

Re: Question about open market

I would do both.

Last year I contacted a principal directly and got the job. It was the day open market closed and because I didn't apply through open market they weren't able to transfer me in the system without my principal's approval. Needless to say he refused to release me and I had to stay an extra year.

This year I went on open market and several schools I applied to contacted me. I was offered a job the last day of school and was able to transfer without my principal's approval. I didn't contact the school directly, just through open market.

Good luck!!!

I got my position from applying on the open market. Didn't contact the principal directly. But my hubby who is applying now, is emailing the principals and applying. GOOD LUCK!!

If you're miserable, send a resume to a new school and see what happens!
