That's what I was going to mention. I'm not sure how the school board recruitment works but if it's a popular position then it would take anywhere from 2 weeks to a month to go through the resumes and start setting up interviews with all people involved. It also depends on how fast they need to fill the position.

I always call HR after two weeks if I haven't heard anything from the employer.
