• PPSD Hires talent

    Employee Referral Program

    PPSD is committed to hiring the highest quality team members that represent the students and communities we serve.  We are looking for teachers, specialized service providers, district and school-based leaders, teaching assistants, bus drivers, custodians and more. We want to make it easy for you to share opportunities and information with your networks – and to reward you for doing so!

  • How does the program work?

    Simply refer a friend or former colleague and if the person you refer is hired, you will receive up to $1000 bonus for each referral.*

    The position must be a permanent teacher or school leader candidate that is subsequently employed within the school system, full-time. This program applies to the current or upcoming school year and there is no cap on the number of referral bonuses that one can receive - we want to reward you for finding as many great people as possible!

    The bonus structure is tiered* and is as follows:

    • Hard to fill role OR school leader (specifically: Principal or Assistant Principal): $1,000
    • Hard-to-fill includes the following roles: Special Education, Secondary Math, Science, Speech Pathology, ESL or Dual Language, School Psychology, and Library
    • Teacher (non hard-to-fill): $500
    • TA, Clerk, Crossing Guard: $250

    The bonus will be paid in one lump sum in the referring employee’s paycheck, 6 months following the referral’s first day of work in PPSD.   

    What steps must be taken in order to qualify for the referral bonus?

    1. Tell the referral to list your name on the job application when they apply (this step MUST be completed).
    2. Complete the information on the online referral form, including the referral’s name, contact information, an explanation as to how you know them, and why you think they’d be a good fit with PPSD.
