If any local school systems are looking to hire seasoned, experienced middle school or high school level teachers, recruit from Russellville City Schools. The few remaining tenured teachers are sure to be looking for another job. If any new, inexperienced teachers are looking for a job. The administration seems to like inexperienced candidates best. These candidates do not raise questions and will blindly follow the leadership. Experienced teachers seem to know what is right from wrong, which seems to poise a problem with administration, especially at the middle level.
