What is the Chalkbeat Jobs Board?
It’s a tool offered by Chalkbeat to help education employers find great talent, and to help education talent find available jobs.

They post a wide range of jobs, including positions at schools (teachers, principals, nurses, psychologists, operations staff) and jobs at education organizations (executive directors, project directors, coordinators, managers, analysts, operations staff). This past year, employers posted more than 800 jobs, and more than 35,000 people visited the Chalkbeat Jobs Board.
