Description: The 19 public school districts throughout the state of Delaware hired a total of 922 teachers for
the 2003–2004 school year. The personnel directors from each district were asked to complete an online
survey requesting information on the number of new hires, when personnel directors were notified of
vacancies, when districts extended contracts, which teaching and non-teaching positions were difficult to
fill, recruitment tools used, and implications of the No Child Left Behind legislation.
