Horry County Schools...Hiring? (Charleston: middle schools, teachers, building)

[southcarolinaonmymind]

I heard that Horry County has a hiring freeze for teachers. Can anyone confirm this? I put my application in last week and the HR Director didn't mention anything about it. I know getting a job will be tough regardless. Thanks for the insight!

I was told by an adminstrator and I read a new article saying Horry County is having a hiring freeze. I even heard that any new teacher hired this past school year will not have their contract renewed. I was interested in Horry County at one point but I haven't even pursued them anymore. I will/should be signing a contract with Charleston or Dorchester District 2 this week. I am a teacher from Ohio. Check out Charleston, Dorchester 2, and Berkeley County Schools. They are all good district very close to the ocean.

Thanks, moss. I work for DD2 right now. My husband got a good job offer in MB so I'm going to try for Horry anyway. I appreciate your reply and wish you luck with your new position!

Where do you work in DD2? I am supposed to be signing a contract with one of the middle schools this week. I have been really impressed with the district. I got a chance to tour, meet and interview with every middle school principal at their building. How have you liked your experience in DD2 as a teacher?
