FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

August 3, 2022

(August 3, 2022) The Rochester City School District is actively recruiting for a variety of positions within its organization. The RCSD, one of the largest school districts in New York State, has a number of openings for positions in schools, including teachers, paraprofessionals, teaching assistants, and clerical staff. The District is also looking to hire staff for operational positions, including facilities, custodians, food service, transportation, and safety and security.

The District is hosting weekly recruitment events throughout the community all summer long, including walk-in events that offer in-person interviews and on-the-spot hiring. 

“Staffing is a real challenge, and we want people to see themselves here in the District,” said Christopher Miller, Chief of Human Capital. “It is extremely rewarding to have an impact on the lives of children in a school community. These recruitment events give people opportunities to step forward and serve their community while receiving excellent benefits.”

In addition to recruitment events, the RCSD is also partnering with community-based organizations, including Ibero, Rochester Works, the Department of Labor, the City of Rochester, the Mercantile on Main, SUNY Brockport, La Marketa at the International Plaza, and Veterans Outreach Center to assist with encouraging people to apply. 

“We are contacting recent RCSD graduates and retirees to expand our outreach,” said Carmine Peluso, Deputy Superintendent of Operations and Administration. “We are also appealing to recent college graduates who have not yet found employment to consider applying to the District.” 

After just two on the spot hiring events in the past week, the RCSD has met with 112 candidates and made 70 offers for employment.  

For more information, visit the Human Capital section of the District’s website.
