Waivers to current processes would allow the district to create its own Professional in Resident (PiR) program to help high-level industry professionals—like local aeronautical engineers, foreign language instructors, nuclear physicists, etc.—qualify to teach Douglas County students on a part-time basis about their specialties. Additionally, the district would have the ability to hire for vacant, hard to fill positions in areas like Special Education, Technology Education, Mathematics, Science and Vocational/Technical Education, by providing added training for qualified licensed teachers.
