HEAR FROM OUR EMPLOYEES “When the opportunity to work in Corrections was first presented to me, I was hesitant to consider working in such an environment. I had been in an inner-city public school for five years and felt so fulfilled by the children I worked with. The competitive salary, amazing health care and retirement benefits, and better work-life balance were what attracted me to apply. After being offered the position, I toured the facility and felt comfortable in the setting. Ten years later, I still feel the same fulfillment I felt in the urban elementary school and truly enjoy coming to work each day. It’s a fast-paced setting filled with variety and opportunity for professional growth.” -Lisa B., Manson Youth Institution "I decided to apply to the Department of Corrections with 8 years of public High School Experience under my belt. The truth is I was totally burnt out being the only School Psychologist at the high school level. My last year in public school, I had 87 evaluations and 178 PPT meetings! I would stay late every day and wake up early on Saturdays to write reports. I have been a school psychologist with USD #1 for 12 years and I am so happy that I made the change from public school to DOC. The salary, health care benefits are far superior to what I received in public school. Additionally, I leave work on time every day and never bring work home." -Michelle N., Manson Youth Institution "Every day is a challenge, and no two days are ever the same. Working in USD #1 is conducive to having a family, as you are able to leave and be home with your family at a reasonable time. The other school psychologists within the district are easy to work with, provide great support and very knowledgeable about special education. " -Tracey C., MacDougall-Walker Correctional Institution “Being a School Psychologist in USD#1 is a multifaceted position-no two days are the same. We are change agents that are helping our students navigate the needs of secondary education while being incarcerated. With that said, we wear many hats. Although challenging at times, my career here has been fulfilling, knowing that I am able to have an impact on many young men’s lives. Having a growth mindset, flexibility, and a strong work ethic will help you succeed in our district.” -Laurie C., Manson Youth Institution YOUR FUTURE IS LIMITLESS MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS - GENERAL EXPERIENCE A Master's degree which includes a planned program of preparation for the field in which the special services are performed.
