Jordan High School - Missed Opportunity? NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Awhile back, my friend who teaches Special Education in LAUSD informed me about Jordan High School in LAUSD (http://www.jordanbulldogs.org/) and how it will soon be taken over by the state. As a result, they are going to have to post up teaching positions for every single subject at that school.

March 9th: "Hey Diana, there is a high school, David Starr Jordan Senior High, that is being taken over by the district. The current plan is that there will be new administration, possibly three separate schools/academies, and all of the teachers will have to reapply for positions. Some of the Charter school teachers I know believe that there company may operate one of the academies. Keep it in mind this spring and summer as postings may come up on the LAUSD website and/or Edjoin." - Inside source

March 14: "[All] the administration staff are being replaced after this school year; which means that there will be a lot of disgruntled administrators. Two, the district has not decided how to structure the school for next year (e.g. academy structure, charter, or a hybrid of each)." - Inside source

He told me to wait it out a bit.

The next thing you know, I check http://www.teachinla.com/ and this was posted as an announcement:
"The Partnership for Los Angeles Schools is transforming Jordan High School: The Partnership for Los Angeles Schools is seeking passionate and dedicated teachers in all content areas to work at Jordan High School for the 2011-2012 school year. Click here for more information."

When was this? When I clicked on the link to apply, a handout came up as a PDF. Apparently, they had recruiting events (5/9, 5/16 with webinars on 5/10, 5/17)!!! AND I MISSED ALL OF THEM!!! :(

Was this a missed opportunity!? I drove by the school awhile back just to check it out and it fit the type of school I woud LOVE to teach in.

Hoping for the best, I still applied with the person and email provided. I emailed them what was required, my cover letter and resume. I really hope there would still be a chance for me to be offered an interview to teach there.
