Help wanted: Cartwright school district needs more teachers

The school district is hosting a job fair this weekend to fill vacancies for the 2025-26 school year.

PHOENIX — The Cartwright School District is hosting a job fair for teachers Saturday as schools look to fill approximately 20 positions for the 2025-26 school year. 

"We are really hoping to get certified teachers or teachers soon to be certified," said John Scudder, the district's director of human resources. 

Cartwright is a K-8 school district with approximately 14,000 students and 20 schools. The starting salary for teachers in the district is $50,000 but those hired with previous experience earn more, Scudder said. 

Teachers and students enjoy a four day week; There is no school on Fridays.

The job fair will be held Saturday from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the district office located at 2043 North 64th Drive in Phoenix.
