* The type of school: A preschool will have vastly different requirements than a university.
* The type of job: A teacher needs far more education than a cafeteria worker.
* The specific school's policies: Individual schools may have their own minimum requirements beyond state or national standards.
For example:
* Teachers: Typically require a bachelor's degree (120+ credits) and state certification.
* Administrators: Often require a master's degree (beyond a bachelor's).
* Custodians/Maintenance: May only require a high school diploma or GED (no college credits).
* Librarians: Usually require a master's degree in library science.
* Support Staff (e.g., aides, secretaries): May require a high school diploma or GED, with some positions possibly preferring some college credits but not requiring a degree.
To find the specific requirements, you'll need to look at the job description for the particular position at the specific school where you're applying.
