Englewood, NJ — November 13, 2025— The Englewood Public School District (EPSD) is proud to announce a new initiative designed to attract and retain talented educators and staff in hard-to-fill positions. As part of this effort, the district will offer a $2,000 hiring incentive for qualified candidates who fill designated roles identified as critical to district needs.
This initiative underscores EPSD’s commitment to ensuring that every classroom is led by a highly qualified professional dedicated to student success. Positions eligible for the incentive include those that have historically presented recruitment challenges, such as specialized instructional, support, and service roles.
“Our goal is to build and sustain a team of exceptional educators who share our vision of empowering and engaging students,” said Dr. Marnie Hazelton, Superintendent of Schools. “This initiative not only helps us fill key vacancies more efficiently but also demonstrates our commitment to supporting staff from the very beginning of their journey with EPSD.”
The $2,000 hiring incentive is designed as a sign-on bonus to recognize the dedication of new team members joining the Englewood Public School District. The incentive reflects the district’s belief that great educators deserve to feel valued from day one. Eligibility and disbursement are contingent upon successful completion of onboarding requirements, continued employment, and fulfillment of district guidelines, ensuring transparency and fairness for all employees. Specific details and timelines are shared with new hires during the onboarding process.
The incentive program complements the district’s broader efforts to enhance recruitment, streamline onboarding, and create a supportive, rewarding environment where staff can thrive.
