>Hi, Alex!

>I hope that all is well with you and that your academic year is off to a
>good start.  I am delighted that Chris Maddas has joined our staff!

>I am very pleased to inform you that Columbus Public Schools has two new
>preschool psychologist positions and we are seeking excellent candidates
>immediately!  These positions are the result of an increased preschool unit
>allocation.  We may have an additional special grant position as well.
>Please help me to get the word out to any excellent school psychologists
>who may consider relocating to the Columbus area.
>
>I know that this is a very difficult time to seek candidates for school
>psychologist positions, but I am hoping that by getting the word out we may
>just succeed.  This would present an opportunity to join an absolutely
>outstanding staff of more than 40 school psychologists, in Ohio's second
>largest school district.  Columbus has been gradually increasing the number
>of school psychologists on staff, and special grants and reallocation of
>resources have afforded more of our staff an opportunity to increase their
>focus on interventions.  A number of Columbus's school psychologists have
>also been involved in a CBM reading fluency norming project at 2nd, 3rd,
>and 4th grades.  During the 1999-2000 school year, we normed approximately
>1300 students.  Our department encourages professional growth, and we are
>building an excellent reference library.  Approximately 25 percent of our
>staff have their doctorates.  Our preschool staff and programming is
>outstanding.  Salary is extremely competitive and will increase by 4% each
>of the next three years.  The regular contract is for the school year, with
>a supplemental contract for two weeks before and two weeks after the school
>year.
>
>Interested school psychologists may request an application by calling Janet
>Kearney (secretary, Norma) at 614-365-5651.  Please also have them contact
>me (Jacque Morgan, Supervisor, School Psychological Services) at
>614-365-5220.
>
>Thanks ,Alex, for any assistance you can give in getting these
>opportunities out onto any and all grapevines, web-sites, etc.!  I hope to
>see you soon!
