Chesterfield County Public Schools has multiple technology education teacher openings for next school year. Conveniently located 20 minutes south of Richmond, Virginia, Chesterfield County features comfortable, affordable living within reach of exciting history, nightlife, festivals, recreational sports, arts, music, and much more. The public school system is among the nation's most desirable and offers competitive pay and benefits, career advancement opportunities, and a wide variety of high quality educational settings in which to work, teach, and learn. I can personally attest to the opportunities and experiences that Chesterfield can offer. I moved here from New York five years ago, knowing no one here and next to nothing about the area. In that short time I've built many great friendships, met my future wife, found time for fun in a recreational hockey league, and earned career advancement opportunities. I have always been easily able to afford a comfortable place to live on my Chesterfield salary, while saving for my future, and there's always something to do in and around town! If you are looking for somewhere to launch your career, or just take your next professional step, Chesterfield County is a great place to do so. I have placed a link below to the application. Please let me know if you have any questions. - Sam Leone, South Central Regional President Chesterfield County Public Schools Technology Education Application
