Special Accommodations for Applying for NYC Leadership Positions

Students should be encouraged to apply for positions that are open now and will close May 15, 2006, as well as positions that will open May 16, 2007 and close on May 30, 2007. We have posted more anticipated vacancies then expected this year and want to make the selection process as competitive as possible.

SPA students who have SAS/SBL that will be effective 9/1/2007 will receive an email that says they are ineligible when the posting closes. When they receive that email, have them forward it to supvapp@schools.nyc.gov and with a statement that says they are in SPA and approval from Tracy Brisson to apply for this position. Since Hiring Managers are going to act on applications as soon as possible, they need to also forward this to that address within 24 hours of receipt to be part of the applicant pool.

One thing is that some positions posted are effective 7/1/2007. If one of your students is offered a position for a 7/1/2007 job, but has a 9/1/2007 SAS/SBL effective date, they cannot be technically paid or staffed for that position until 9/1- our systems will not allow it. We can work that out individually, but students should know that.
