Usually, metro Atlanta school systems hold job fairs for prospective teachers in the spring. But some districts have moved up the schedule this year.

The Cobb County schools has some fairs scheduled for January, and Fulton County plans to hold six job fairs in the next two months.

Leticia Jones, a talent management coordinator and district recruiter with the Fulton County schools, says the shift isn’t due to an unusual number of vacancies.
