How We Hire and Why It Matters A Purpose-Driven Approach to Recruitment at Doddridge County Schools At Doddridge County Schools, every position matters because every role contributes to the success of our students. We take a thoughtful and transparent approach to recruitment, using multiple platforms and strategies to ensure we connect with the right individuals to serve our schools and community. • Frontline – WV K12 Jobs This statewide platform, launched by the West Virginia Department of Education, allows us to reach a broader audience, streamline applications, and increase visibility for all openings. All district job opportunities are now posted through Frontline, making the process more accessible and transparent for applicants across the state. West Virginia K-12 Jobs - Frontline Recruitment • District Employment Page Open positions are also listed on our website at dcschools.us. This local resource ensures easy access for community members and those seeking opportunities within Doddridge County. Kindergarten Classroom Teacher-DCELA at Doddridge County Schools (WV) | SchoolSpring • Cooperative Partnerships For certain highly skilled roles or positions not clearly defined under traditional classification codes, counties may partner with educational cooperatives. In our region, we work with the Southeastern Educational Services Cooperative (SESC). These partnerships allow us to meet unique staffing needs efficiently and in compliance with state guidelines. Each cooperative position is reviewed annually and renewed only if a continued need is identified. Employment | SESCWV.ORG Each method of posting serves a unique purpose, but our goal remains the same: to recruit individuals who are not only qualified but also committed to making a difference. Through a hiring process grounded in transparency, adaptability, and excellence, we are building a team that reflects the heart of our mission, united to make a difference. #UnitedToMakeADifference
