Dear Williamson County Schools Applicant, 

Thank you for your interest in employment opportunities with Williamson County Schools and welcome to our website.  I hope that you will find this website easy to use as you search for a position with our schools.  I encourage you to complete an application and frequently check out our job listings. You will find that a career working with the 27,500 students in our district is challenging, rewarding and fulfilling.  I also encourage you to “do your homework” and learn all that can about Williamson County Schools.  We are very proud of what we have to offer both our students and our employees. 

One of our main goals in the Human Resources Department, as well as our entire staff in Williamson County Schools, is to attract, recruit, employ and retain high quality employees in all of our positions throughout the district.  The Williamson County Schools family is made up of fully certified professional educators, highly qualified support staff, and a Board of Education that is unconditionally dedicated to make our district one of the best in the nation. We acknowledge and communicate that our 3000+ certified and classified employees are our greatest asset. The parents, residents and businesses of Williamson County support our schools and our employees. You would be proud to be a member of our organization. 

To be considered for a certificated position with Williamson County Schools, you must have the following: 

  At least a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university 

 A valid Tennessee teaching certificate for the level and/or subject area that you are to teach, or be eligible for a temporary, alternative  Tennessee teaching certificate 

 Be “Highly Qualified” under “No Child Left Behind” Legislation in the core teaching subject you are applying for 

 A completed on-line Williamson County Schools Application  

 A completed on-line TeacherInsight Interview with Gallup 

To be considered for a classified or support position, you must meet the minimum qualifications for the position you are seeking and have completed our on-line application.  Most vacancy announcements will be supported by a job description which describes the qualifications.  Since the hiring rate is determined by education beyond high school and verifiable full-time work experience, you should include transcripts and will need to have your previous employers verify your length of employment with them on our forms. 

All applications must be complete with all applicable blanks completed.  A resume is not a substitute for the application, but may be attached to your file.  When selecting “Position Desired” check only those boxes in which you are currently certified or are eligible to receive an alternative license.  Read and answer carefully the questions in each section of the application.  Selecting the Acknowledgment check box at the end of the application will suffice as a signature. 

If you hold a Tennessee teaching license, please attach a copy to your application.  You may scan this in and transmit with your application.  If you do not hold a Tennessee teaching license, you must meet eligibility requirements for an alternative certificate in the area you wish to teach.  Please go to www.state.tn.us/education/lic. to see if you meet the eligibility requirements. You must also send us copies of all your college transcripts. You may send copies as downloaded attachments to your application.  You may also mail transcripts to us directly.  Official copies of your transcripts and the superintendent’s copy of the license will be required at the time of hire. 

The “Addendum” section at the end of the application must be completed to fulfill the requirements of the State of Tennessee to check criminal history records on applicants being considered for employment.   

Should there be a vacancy in your field, administrators will contact the most qualified applicants on file for interviews.  Please continue to check our website for an updated list of vacancies.    Your application will be active for only one calendar year from the date of the application.  At the end of that time, you will need to reapply on-line if you have a continued interest in positions with Williamson County Schools. 

Williamson County Schools is proud of being an equal employment opportunity employer.  We do not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, color, religion, national origin, age, disability or veteran status in the provision of educational opportunities and benefits pursuant to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title XI of the Educational Amendment of 1972, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the American with Disabilities Act of 1990. 

Again, thank you for your interest in Williamson County Schools. We hope that you will find the right opportunity to be a part of the many exciting things our schools are doing for the children, families, and community in this county. 

Sincerely, 

Judith N. Looney
Director of Human Resources
