Frequently Asked Questions
What can I expect after my interview with a RSP Program Manager?
After your interview with a RSP Program Manager, your full application package and interview will be considered for approval. If approved, your resume will go into a formal pool that School Principals can select from to fill their vacancies.
DCPS RSP positions are supported by the School Mental Health Team, specifically RSP Program Managers (School Social Work, School Psychology, and School Counselor), and School Principals. Principals have autonomy over their buildings and staff, thus making all final hiring decisions. You may interview with as many Principals as you like, to explore all options for a good fit.
When you and a Principal decide you are a good match, they will formally select you for hire at their school site. At this point, DCPS Staffing will contact you via email regarding next steps required for your employment (i.e. security clearance, drug testing, verification of previous employment, onboarding).
Occupational Therapy and Speech Language Pathology:
Following your interview, we will review your writing samples and references. If you are selected to move forward in the hiring process, you will receive a “Next Steps” email with pre-employment requirements. Additionally, you will receive access to a candidate dashboard to upload the required documents and instructions for completing the background clearance and drug screening. Following completion of all pre-employment steps, a formal offer letter will be issued to include salary and start date. The Program Hiring Manager will then reach out regarding school assignment(s) and onboarding.
