Medford has hired many qualified educators to serve the needs of our students. Medford offers many wonderful advantages to teacher applicants including a support system for them. Medford has a competitive pay scale and quality fringe benefits. We need to attract more educators representing diversity to serve as role model for our growing diverse population. I believe that our hiring process has worked well and that many have participated in that process in most instances before it gets to the Superintendent. We value input but must rely on our hired professionals to make the best choices.
