Apply for a Position
Certificated Employees ONLY (teachers, coordinators, counselors, psychologists, media specialists)
If you are currently a certificated employee on a continuing contract with the ACPS, you must first create an internal account on the School Recruiter system. Once you have created your internal account, you may enter the Allegany County Public Schools recruitment system on your next visit, and you will be able to see transfer positions that are currently posted.
Note: If you are a teacher on a one-year only contract, a substitute teacher, or a local substitute teacher, please follow the instructions listed in the section below.
All Other Employees and Applicants
Once you enter the system, you will see a list of all current job postings. New positions are posted as they become available. You will have the opportunity to search postings and filter for specific positions that interest you. Click on the position title for more information about the specific position and to apply for the position. Certificated employees have the ability to create a general application that may be stored on the ACPS system to be retrieved at any time for specific job openings.
Automatic Notifications
The ACPS online recruitment system provides the opportunity for potential applicants to receive weekly email alerts of current job openings and transfer positions for current employees. Once you have created an account, by signing up for email alerts you will receive an automated email over the weekend for any jobs posted during the previous week. Typically, new positions are posted for a minimum of eight days and transfer positions for three days.
