The Opportunity Culture® Teacher Leadership Job Fair will be held from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday in the atrium of Martin Millennium Academy at 400 East Johnson Street in Tarboro.

“We have not had a job fair for Opportunity Culture® yet, so we are really excited about it. We are inviting anybody who is interested in Opportunity Culture® teacher leadership positions in Edgecombe County,” said Erin Swanson, director of innovation for Edgecombe County Public Schools. “We are looking for people inside or outside the district. We have already opened the application process so folks can get on the website, learn more about the positions, and apply.” This article is no longer available online.
