Dearborn Public Schools Looking To Hire Teachers, Other Professions

DEARBORN, MI — Dearborn Public Schools are looking for teachers and other professionals for the upcoming school year, the school district said Thursday morning.

The district is looking to hire all teachers, whether part-time substitutes or full-time professionals, as well as roughly 50 non-teaching jobs, such as bus drivers, food service workers, custodians, secretaries and receptionists, the district said. The jobs range from just a few hours a day on school days to full-time, year round employment.

"As a district, we are always excited for the start of the new school year," Executive Director of Staff and Student Services Maysam Alie-Bazzi said. "But it also means hiring lots of new staff to help us prepare for the return of students to our buildings. Hopefully, some of the people reading this will join us so we can continue to provide our students the best possible services!"

Staring pay in the Dearborn district for teachers is among the highest in all of Wayne County, the district said. In addition, the employee benefits contributions are among the lowest in the county.

All employees will also be eligible for paid holidays and time off, retirement benefits and life insurance. Employees working more than four hours a day also qualify for health care, including vision and dental, after 60 days.

The district will also help train anyone interested in any position, such as a building engineer or building operations specialist. Training will also be offered to drivers to become a certified bus driver, the district said.

Dearborn Public Schools also began a program in conjunction with Henry Ford College and the Department of Labor to help those interested in learning a skilled trade.

Most positions outside of teaching are eligible for tuition reimbursement for classes at Henry Ford College for themselves, their spouses and dependent children. The coverage extends to most employees covered by the Dearborn Federation of School Employees and all those under Dearborn School Operating Engineers Association.

All job openings can be found through the district’s online application portal. Substitute teachers and paraprofessionals were asked to apply through EduStaff. Those with questions about job openings can call Human Resources at 313-827-3002.

Dearborn Public Schools serves about 20,500 students and has 36 buildings holding 37 schools.
