A few minor updates were also made to other RCOTA contract articles, which will appear on the website in the updated Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) once available.

Recruiting the Best

Personnel Services staff have been working with program staff to ensure quality instruction in the classroom by sound recruitment, selection, and certification of teachers and support staff for the more than 450 classrooms operated by the Riverside County Office of Education.

Qualified teachers have been hired from throughout California and from other states. With a nationwide shortage of special education teachers, recruitment for these scarce individuals will continue throughout the school year.

Current vacancies can be found on our Employment Opportunities web page.
