Last month, the local school board(not the one I work for) posted 2 job openings for 'School Security Coordinators'. It's a 12-month/3-year contracted position(s), made available via a federal grant.
Applicants needed a B.S. degree in Education, Psychology, Sociology, etc. I have a B.S. in Edu and a Masters in Edu. I also have 4 years' LEO experience.
I was beginning to get 'edgy' due to not being contacted about an interview. Cut-off date for applying was 2 weeks ago. I figured I had an above average chance. One of my fellow LEO buddies also applied. He is edgy, too....no word, either.
Today, I get a letter in the mail, postmarked 11/19/01, dated 11/19/01, saying that due to the unexpectedly high applicant rate, they would only be conducting 'select' interviews of applicants. Interviewees would be notified via telephone on Monday, November 19, 2001 (note the dates).
It is probably as I suspected, considering despotism is alive and well in the South, that the 'coordinators' were PRE-selected.
IF the above is found to be true, what is the BEST way to voice an objection, considering this is a FEDERALLY-funded position(s)?
