Springfield Public Schools Holding Job Fair

    With an improved economy and lower unemployment rate, the second-largest school district in Massachusetts is looking to fill dozens of immediate job openings.  

   The Springfield Public School Department is holding a job fair today ( July 24) from 2 p.m.-4 p.m. at the FutureWorks Career Center, 1 Federal Street, Springfield.

    There are openings for teaching assistants, substitute teachers, bus monitors, crossing guards and teachers in the hard-to-fill specialties math and special education.

     WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with Lucy Perez,  human resources administrator for recruitment and retention for the Springfield Public Schools.

The record-setting tenure of Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno. The 2011 tornado and its recovery that remade the largest city in Western Massachusetts. The fallout from the deadly COVID outbreak at the Holyoke Soldiers Home. Those are just a few of the thousands and thousands of stories WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill has covered for WAMC in his nearly 17 years with the station.
