MANITOWOC, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — The Manitowoc Public School District is offering sign-on bonuses in its attempts to fill open positions for the upcoming school year.
The district is offering $5,000 for new teachers hired to fill the remaining 2022-23 positions. It’s also offering $1,000 for people hired as support staff, which includes classroom aides and custodians.
This is the first time the district has offered sign-on bonuses in at least six years, according to MPSD Director of Human Resources Joyce Greenwood-Aerts.
Greenwood-Aerts says the labor market and teachers shortage has all districts struggling to fill positions for the school year.
The district will also be hosting open interviews at the district office Aug. 17 through Aug. 19. Successful candidates will be hired on the spot, pending reference and background checks.
Open interview times:
- Aug. 17 — 9 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.
- Aug. 18 — 1 p.m. – 4 p.m.
- Aug. 19 — 9 a.m. – 12 p.m.
More information about available positions can be found online.
The district has about a dozen teaching positions to fill for the upcoming school year, which starts Aug. 30.
