If you received a “Failed Prescreening” message, it means one of the prescreening questions was answered in a way that made your application ineligible. Specifically, the following question was answered “No”: Do you hold a current teaching certificate or vocational work experience/certificate for the instructional position(s), or do you expect to receive the required credentials prior to the position start date? If this was selected in error, please reapply and choose the appropriate response. Your application will then be reviewed accordingly.
