Job Summary

Job Summary

Job Opening: School Psychologist Reports to: Vice President(s) of Inclusive Education Status: Exempt, Full Time, 12 month position BACKGROUND Bright Star Schools was created in 2002 by a group of concerned educators and local citizens who recognized the need to provide the West Adams community with a successful alternative to underperforming local public schools. With the support of community leaders, dedicated parents, and a committed Board of Directors, we gained a LAUSD (Los Angeles Unified School District) charter and in 2003, Stella Middle Charter Academy began operation. Since then, Bright Star Schools has expanded to nine schools in the three communities of West Adams, Koreatown, and Panorama City in the San Fernando Valley. The vision of Bright Star Schools is to build exemplary tuition-free public schools that serve the Los Angeles urban communities. By leveraging our core values and operating principles to achieve outstanding academic performance, Bright Star Schools will establish a model of scholastic excellence. We are seeking a high energy, well organized, school psychologist who has proven success at elementary, middle and high school levels (Grades K-12). This part-time position would allow for flexibility in schedule as we require someone to conduct “overflow” assessments (initials, re-evaluations, FBAs) and DIS counseling services to our students across the organization. This position would also allow for the ability to “float” around to different school sites as needs arise in our 3 clusters (Mid City, Koreatown, and Valley). This position will require constant communication and collaboration with our 3 existing regional school psychologists.
