Many of the school districts in our state sit in small rural communities. These communities offer multiple benefits to teachers that need to be shared with potential candidates. In July, CNN highlighted small towns across the country in their article "Big Employers, Small-town Jobs". One question the author raised regarding the benefits of small towns was:
But what about the advantages of small-town life, like cheap housing, low crime rates, and clean air?
The new KEEB allows districts to provide this type of information about their community in the employer description. This information then becomes part of each and ever job posting. To locate information on your community visit the link below. This site provides data, such as, number of libraries, parks, housing costs, etc. for cities in Kansas that may be worth including in your employer description on KEEB.

We are currently developing a video highlighting the benefits of teaching in rural Kansas that will be posted on the KEEB website. I will keep you updated as we wrap up production.
