Abstract	Recruiting and retaining teachers and other personnel continues to be one of the most critical issues in rural schools. The need for teachers in the U.S. is expected to grow significantly as large numbers of teachers retire, many taking advantage of early retirement incentives. In searching for ways to meet new federal law requirements outlined in the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 regarding teacher quality, small and rural school districts will face pervasive recruitment and retention challenges as they struggle to compete in the teacher labor market. This toolkit is a response to the needs expressed by superintendents in the Rural School District Superintendents' Network at SERVE, a network of high-performing superintendents form the six-state SERVE region. While many topics are possible, six tools are included in the toolkit on critical areas that will enable small and rural school districts to address their personnel recruitment and retention issues. They are the following: (1) Recruitment Brochure Tool; (2) Assessment of Community Resources Tool; (3) Applicant Portfolio Review Tool; (4) Applicant Interview Tool; (5) Personnel Retention Checklist Tool; and (6) Personnel Exit Interview/Survey Tool. Each tool includes a brief description of its purpose, the premise on which it was developed, and procedures for using it effectively. A school district may choose to use the tools individually or collectively, based on circumstances specific to each district. However, the greatest success in addressing the district's recruitment and retention issues is more likely to occur if all six tools are integrated into district recruitment and retention practices and viewed and used as a system.
