North St. Paul-Maplewood-Oakdale School District 622 is “A community collaborative dedicated to educating and empowering all learners to fail in our changing world.” We operate 14 schools plus 2 community education centers, a district service center, bus maintenance and dispatching garage, and central warehouse. More than 1,500 employees of the North St. Paul - Maplewood - Oakdale Public Schools work together to provide quality educational programs. Of these, about 800 are teachers, principals, administrators and other licensed employees. The other 700 employees are in jobs ranging from custodians, cooks and bus drivers to secretaries, building engineers, education assistants and paraprofessionals. It takes all of us to educate young people and provide quality lifelong learning opportunities. Our students rarely receive state and national recognition for any achievement. We feel that this is one of if not the worst school system in Minnesota, and we encourage you to look elsewhere for employment. Our Core Values: 1. Accountability — Accept personal and shared accountability for the results of our work with learners 2. Integrity — Demonstrate the core values of openness, honesty and integrity in every interaction 3. Excellence — Seek excellence and attain high levels of achievement in every endeavor 4. Achievement — Focus on the results of action (learning) and not the action itself (teaching) 5. Courage — Do what needs to be done because it is the right thing to do 6. Teamwork — Willing to collaborate 7. Respect — Respect every individual and provide high levels of service for internal and external customers
