KPRDSB is committed to providing barrier-free and accessible employment practices in compliance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA). Should you require accommodation through any stage of the recruitment process please make them known when contacted and we will work with you to meet your needs.

A Police Records Check, including a Vulnerable Sector Search and Pardoned Sexual Offenders Database Search, valid within six months from the date of hire, is a condition of employment with the Board. Please note that there have been reports that it may take up to six weeks to process police records checks in some jurisdictions. With that in mind, we strongly suggest that candidates obtain a police screening as soon as possible.

Schools, Human Resources and the Education Centre do not accept or retain unsolicited paper or electronic resumes.
