Frequently Asked Questions
 

I am receiving an error message when I try to upload my documents.

The application system will only accept documents that are 1 meg or smaller.  Your document may be too large.

 

Documents created in Microsoft Word (file type .DOC) must be converted to Rich Text Format (.RTF) before they may be uploaded successfully.  To convert to .RTF, open the document in Word, select File, Save As, then File Save Type:  Rich Text Format and Save.  This will create a .RTF file that may be uploaded successfully.

I cannot submit my application because my documents will not upload.

Applications may be submitted without uploading documents.  Log back in to your online application and when you get to the Supporting Documents page of the application, scroll to the bottom and select Continue.  This will check off that page and allow you to submit without uploading.  You may then email, mail or fax your documents to the Human Resources office.  Email documents to application@mckinneyisd.net, fax to (469) 742-4001, or mail to #1 Duvall Street, McKinney, TX 75069.

 

How do I know if my application file is complete?

1. An online application must be submitted into our database.

2. Resume, letter of interest, transcripts and teacher certification must be submitted to the Human Resources Application Clerk. You may drop them off at the Administration Building or mail them in to #1 Duvall Street, McKinney, Texas 75069.  Email documents to application@mckinneyisd.net.  Fax documents to (469)742-4001. 

When will I be interviewed?

Campus administrators will review completed applications.  While McKinney ISD has an open interview policy, not all applicants will be interviewed.   Applicants chosen for interviews will be notified by the administrator. 

How long will my application file be kept active?

Complete online applications remain active for 12 months from the date of submission.  It is the applicant's responsibility to update their application with any changes.

I already have an online application.  How do I apply  for new positions in the district?

You may update your online application to reflect newly posted positions at any time. Select Application Process from the column on the right of this page.  You may then start the online application process.  Enter your Applicant ID and your password to log into your application.  If you have forgotten your password, the system will email it to you.  If you need assistance with this process, please call (469)742-4117.

I am a teacher applicant who just graduated, and though I have applied for a teaching certificate, I will not receive it for some weeks.  Will my application be considered incomplete until you receive my teaching certificate?

No, we will consider your application complete if you include a letter from your university or organization recommending you for a teaching certificate to the state agency responsible for teacher certification.

I am out-of-state certified.  What do I need to do to get Texas Certified?

A newly hired out-of-state teacher is issued a one-year Texas certificate at the levels and areas certifiable in Texas.  The teacher then has up to 12 months from the date of employment to take and pass the appropriate ExCET or TExAS exams.  Application for a one-year certificate is permissible at any time before employment, but must be made within 30 days after the date of employment.  The Certification Division of Texas Education Agency at 1-888-863-5880 can answer any questions you may have or provide you with information.  Please review the Teacher Certification page for a more details regarding Texas certification.
Please direct all other questions regarding employment with McKinney ISD to Human Resources at (469) 742-4117.
