jobs in Indiana

[Patricia Lynn Clark-Erskine <pce@TENET.EDU>]

I was one of the 6000 teachers in the 'reduction in force' back in the
90-91 school year in Indiana.  I moved to Houston, Texas the following
spring because I could stay in education.  In the three years following I
have completed my masters in Learning Resources, and have just started
work on my doctorate in Instructional Technology.  HOWEVER, I left my
heart back in the cornfields of Indiana.  I lived there for all of the
first XX years of my life.  ALL of my family is still there.  I would
truly like to return if I could stay in education, and not worry about
being 'rif'ed' again after a year or two.

Dear IN., how is the 'climate' up there?  Are there jobs available?  Has
the situation gotten better with budgeting and lay-offs?  Has anyone come
up with a better way to find Indiana jobs than applying to each and every
school individually?  If anyone has any suggestions on how to go about
finding openings in our field in Indiana, particularly within 30 miles or
so of Bloomington, I would appreciate all the help anyone could offer.

TIA
