Pool positions are used when we anticipate having several similar openings across the district. Because the posting is used for expected openings, you might be invited to interview for positions that have not yet become available. As teaching positions become available in the posted pool category, we first consider applicants that have applied to the pool posting.��

��

Timeline: Since the pool positions are often projected openings, it can delay the timeline for next steps after an initial interview. If you have questions about the pool process, please contact us at hrjobs@bellinghamschools.org��
