Rolling seats each week until all 500 are filled.
01
Hold your seat — $1
A one-dollar refundable fee plus tax confirms you are real and reserves one of the 500 seats. Refunded after you complete your interview task, whether or not you get an offer.
02
Interview task
Profile picture, LinkedIn link, a 60-second speech, and one of five questions. Reviewed on a rolling basis the day it lands — no résumé, no waiting for a cycle.
03
5-minute phone screen
A short virtual phone interview at 313-607-7589. Five minutes, three questions, a real human. You will know your next step before you hang up.
04
Group interview on Google Meet
A live virtual group session — collaborate, build, and show care for students. Orientation and onboarding follow immediately for anyone who receives an offer.
The $1 seat fee plus applicable tax is refunded once your interview task is complete. It exists only to keep the 500 seats real. It is not a purchase of employment, it buys no advantage in review, and no other payment is ever requested from an applicant.

3 · Answer one of five questions
Pick the one you can answer best. Which question you choose tells us as much as the answer: they run from the most straightforward to the most complex, and every level is a real seat on this campaign.
The rules of this process
Equal opportunity: we consider every applicant without regard to race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, marital status, height, weight, or veteran status — consistent with Title VII, the ADA, the ADEA, and the Michigan Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act and Persons with Disabilities Civil Rights Act.
Reasonable accommodation: if any step here is a barrier, email us and we will provide an equivalent alternative — a phone call instead of a video, a transcript instead of a link.
No protected information: do not include your age, date of birth, photo requirements, marital or family status, immigration details beyond work authorization, health information, or salary history. We will not ask, and unsolicited details are disregarded.
Minors: applicants under 18 must have a parent or guardian's written consent, and Michigan youth employment rules govern hours; interns under 18 do not work past posted school-night limits.
Paid and unpaid work: any role meeting the FLSA employee test is paid at or above the Michigan minimum wage. Unpaid internships are educational, follow the Department of Labor primary-beneficiary test, and never displace paid staff.
Campaign finance: volunteer time is not a contribution, and staff are compensated from the campaign committee under Michigan Campaign Finance Act reporting. No in-kind work is accepted from prohibited sources.
Nonpartisan office: DPSCD school board is nonpartisan. No party endorsement, party funds, or partisan attacks are produced by this team.
District boundary: campaign work is never done on DPSCD time, property, equipment, or accounts.
Your data: what you type on this page stays in your browser until you press send, and your application email is used only to evaluate you for these roles. Ask us to delete it at any time.
Records: we keep application records for the period required by law and destroy them afterward.
