Thank you, Human ResourcesBack to TopQ:I am interested in applying for a job in the Mukliteo School district. I live on Whidbey and have 19 years of experience teaching science and math in grades 7-12. My question is this: my WA state certification has lapsed (I taught in private schools and did continuing education that was ok for the schools I taught at, but not eligible for WA state continuing ed.). I am working presently on getting my certification back up to date; can I apply now for the positions, or do I need to wait until re certification is complete?

A:You can apply before the certification has been brought up-to-date, but it is a condition of employment to have a valid certificate so the updated certificate would have to be reinstated by no later than 8/24/2020.
Thanks for your interest in working for the Mukilteo School District!
Best, Human ResourcesBack to Top
