Applications for employment in the Jenks District shall be completed online through the Jenks Public Schools website.

Jenks Public Schools will make every effort to be fully informed as to the personal character and qualifications of those applicants to be recommended for employment. The District will contact any former employer or other persons deemed appropriate concerning the personal character and qualifications of applicants. As authorized by OS Title 70, Section 5-142, additional steps will be taken to secure information regarding the applicant’s driving record, and criminal/felony record, if any.

A pre-employment drug test will be required for all employees. Any information or misrepresented information provided to the District by the applicant/employee is grounds for immediate removal from consideration and/or employment.

Individuals hired by Jenks Public Schools are employees of the District. The specific assignment of personnel is an inherent managerial right. The Superintendent shall have the authority to assign or reassign any employee to any approved position for which the employee is certified and/or qualified and which is deemed to be in the best interest of the District. 

Pending availability of funds and with the approval of Human Resources, employees may be reimbursed for certification exams with passing scores. Reimbursement is reserved for employees who have been asked to add certification to benefit the District.
