"Newton County School System has a lot to offer," said Carpenter. "Newton County is a great place to work and live. This job fair will be an excellent opportunity for teachers to meet and interview with school principals, learn more information about the school system and the local community and obtain information on current job openings and requirements."

According to Carpenter, no registration is required for admission to the job fair; however, each teacher is strongly encouraged to bring multiple copies of his/her resume.
