ASU will host over 60 different organizations at their Teacher's Fair on Friday, March 8th. 

This fair is open to the public. All who attend need to be dressed in business attire, have a current resume to give to each prospective employer and have a valid Teacher's-certificate. The fair will offer information and first-level screenings for jobs, with actual call-back interviews scheduled for the same day.

The Teachers' Fair is from 9 a.m. until noon, with follow-up interviews, by appointment, only from 1 p.m. until 4 p.m.

For 26 years, The Arc of the United States has sponsored Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month to enhance understanding of the issues affecting people with developmental disabilities and educate the public that people with developmental disabilities can be vital and vibrant members of communities.

According to a recent study by the CDC:

• Developmental disabilities affect more than 7 million Americans (and more than 121,000 Alabamians)
• About one in six children in the U.S. had one or more developmental disabilities or delays in 2006-2008
• The prevalence of parent-reported developmental disabilities increased 17 percent from 1997-2008

These statistics underscore the increasing need for specialized health services, education and social services for people with developmental disabilities.

Virtual Alabama is a high-tech information and mapping system that helps police, fire personnel and other first responders during emergencies at public buildings, including schools and colleges.  The Virtual Alabama School Safety Summit will bring together educators, emergency managers and law enforcement officers to discuss school safety technologies and how to use the Virtual Alabama system.  Additional topics will include understanding and mitigating behavioral issues in schools and developing and exercising effective emergency operations plans for schools.

Governor Bentley’s remarks during the opening session of the summit will begin at 9:00 a.m.
