What Talent Tuesday Is
Talent Tuesday is the district's standing open house for would-be employees. According to the MNPS hiring events calendar, the Talent Acquisition team holds these in-person sessions every first and third Tuesday of the month at the Support Hub, just off I-65 near Berry Hill. The September sessions ran on that schedule, and October's first and third Tuesdays fall on the 6th and the 20th.
The point is simple: sit down with a recruiter, learn which positions are open and get help with the application, which runs through the district's online portal. If you've been stuck on a step or aren't sure which job class fits your background, this is the place to ask.
The district's calendar lists the Oct. 20 session from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the MNPS Board Room. Questions before you drive over go to (615) 259-INFO. The Oct. 20 date falls after MNPS fall break, which runs Oct. 12–16.
💼 The Jobs on the Table
MNPS says it wants to hear from experienced educators, new teachers, bus drivers, substitutes, support employees and career changers alike. On the MNPS careers page, the district points applicants toward teaching, substitute teaching, driving, nutrition and custodial roles. That's a wide net: a Talent Tuesday visit makes as much sense for someone who has driven a commercial route out of Antioch as for a licensed teacher relocating from out of state.
Transportation deserves a mention. Bus driver pay and staffing have been in the local news this month, so anyone who has thought about driving a school route should come with questions ready.
💵 A Word on Pay
The district's FY27 budget gives employees a 1.7 percent cost-of-living adjustment plus a step increase for everyone eligible, according to an MNPS budget explainer. Position-by-position schedules for 2026–27 are posted on the MNPS salaries page. We aren't printing starting figures here; ask the recruiter for the schedule that matches your job class and experience.
