About the Opportunity This Elementary School is seeking a creative, forward-thinking Speech-Language Pathologist to join their close-knit school community for the 2026–2027 school year. This is an exciting year of transition for the district, with new leadership at the Director, Principal, and Superintendent levels. They're looking for an SLP who is excited to grow alongside the district, bring fresh ideas, and help shape the future of speech and language services.

Position Overview The SLP will work primarily with general education students and students with minimal-to-moderate communication needs. There are no specialized programs, and the current caseload remains below the district's cap, with two part-time SLPs currently covering services.
The district is especially interested in an SLP who is active, innovative, and creative in their approach to therapy. Rather than relying heavily on worksheets or "canned" programs, they want someone who brings engaging, individualized ideas to their work with students.
