Working in the AASD
Our District includes 4K, 15 elementary, 3 middle, and 3 high schools. In addition, we have 14 charter schools. We have a large Hmong and Hispanic population and provide English Language Learner (ELL) services for students with limited English proficiency.
We have a positive working relationship with our employees, and a Board of Education that is dedicated to making our District an excellent place for children to learn. The Board recognizes the benefits of employing and maintaining a culturally and socially diverse staff. Accordingly, one of the Board’s goals is to employ qualified minority personnel within the District. This supports the Board’s mission to develop knowledge of, appreciation for, and an understanding of different value systems and cultures, as well as developing the skills necessary to cope with social change.
