Abstract:
Boards of education in North Carolina have great latitude in designing their hiring policies. There are no state statutes or regulations to require the boards to advertise or post notices of vacancies, interview any specific number of candidates, or conduct interviews in a certain way. The challenge to the boards is to put in place hiring procedures that increase the likelihood of identifying the best candidates while at the same time decreasing the chances of violating federal antidiscrimination statutes.
