Job Opening- Teacher/TD in Atlanta.

[Scott Parker]

Hello All,
I've just seen this job posting. I know the school as I held a Stage
Lighting Super Saturday workshop there. The space is large and
relativly well equiped. Marty, the (the now former I suppose) TD
reminds me of me when I was teaching HS in NY. Very busy with a large
crew. Supported by the school. Active at USITT. I don't have details
as to why Marty has left. This is one of those one-man-band jobs I
think.
I hope whoever gets in there is good. We've had a pretty good flow of
kids come to CSU.

I know nothing of the hiring process, so all contact and info is below.

Scott
