We’re Hiring: Sioux Falls School District Looking For Teachers
Looking for a teaching job, the Sioux Falls School District wants to talk with you.
The new school year begins in one month, scary, I know. The clock is ticking and the district has 11 teacher openings to fill before the first school bell rings.
Sioux Falls School District Senior Human Resources Director Becky Dorman told Dakota News Now, "So this is a critical time, because in most situations you’ve depleted your applicant pool, because everyone in the area has been hiring teachers. We always need teachers.”

The Sioux Falls district isn't the only one in the state that needs more educators. According to Dorman, "Some of the bright spots of those openings that are remaining is several schools were grant recipients. So the postings, about half of those were because we got some new FTE for teachers, and that’s always a good thing. So we’re just working through filling those positions."
Dakota News Now reports that the district has also been encouraging current staff to explore ways to become certified teachers through non-traditional ways. An example of a couple of those avenues include financial incentives from the district to help with cost of a degree, and working with the Department of Education’s Teacher Apprenticeship Pathway program.
When it comes to employment opportunities within the Sioux Falls School District, there are far more positions open than just 11 vacant educator positions, the district is also on the search for other vital school staff, like support staff that handle day-to-day operations in buildings and in offices. Not to mention the need for people willing to be substitute teachers.
The need is great, but the district remains hopeful those 11 positions will be filled by the time the first school bell rings for the start of the new school year on August 22.
