The first step in the
application process for any position within the Fond du Lac School
District is to complete the on-line application which is found at the
WECAN website, http://services.education.wisc.edu/wecan.
When completing this application, please answer all questions and
provide all relevant information possible. The more complete the
application and the more information you provide, the more likely that
your application will be considered.
Materials required in addition to the application are identified in the Post Application instructions.
No application shall be considered complete if additional requested
materials have not been provided. The District, in its discretion, may
reject incomplete applications.
THE SELECTION PROCESS
The Fond du Lac School
District uses a site-based hiring process. This process involves the
building or department administrators of the areas in which the
vacancies exist. Please do not contact these building/department administrators directly.
These administrators review applications and other materials and make a
determination as to the candidates they wish to interview. At the
conclusion of the interview and screening process, the building or
department administrator forwards a recommendation of employment to the
Director of Human Resources. The Director of Human Resources reviews
the recommendation and, in many cases, will set up a final interview
with the recommended candidate. Following the final interview, if it is
decided to make an offer of employment to the candidate, the Director
of Human Resources will also review the Fond du Lac School District’s
compensation and benefit packages and discuss various contingencies to
the offer of employment.
The District reserves the right to modify the above hiring process.
THE OFFER OF EMPLOYMENT
The successful candidate
for employment with the Fond du Lac School District will receive an
offer of employment. That offer will be conditioned upon the candidate
fulfilling the following:
- Successful completion of a post offer
of employment physical. This process will include a drug screening.
This is paid for by the District, provided the physical is completed by
the medical practitioner of the District’s choice.
- Completion of the Federal I-9
Employment Eligibility Verification Form. This form must be completed
within three (3) days of the candidate’s actual start date or sooner.
- Successful completion of a criminal
background check. A criminal record does not automatically bar a
candidate from employment, depending upon the circumstances of the
conviction.
- Submission of original transcripts from both undergraduate and graduate institutions to verify salary schedule placement.
- Verification of a valid Department of Public Instruction license with the required certification for the position.
- Verification of prior employment and work experience.
- If the candidate is under contract
with another district, submission of a document releasing the candidate
from the contract of employment with that district.
- Board of Education action accepting the Director of Human Resource’s recommendation of employment of the candidate.
In some cases, the
selected candidate may be asked to start working prior to fulfilling all
of the above conditions to the offer of employment. Notwithstanding,
the District reserves the right to modify the candidate’s salary
schedule placement or withdraw the offer of employment if the conditions
of the offer of employment are not fulfilled to the satisfaction of the
District.

on-line application releases the District and anyone contacted as part

application or in any other aspect or portion of the hiring process,
including after an offer of employment is made or after commencement of
employment, will be sufficient reason for rejection of your application
