Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Jul 28, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (5)
The Bachelor's degree is explicitly 'preferred' and the JD states an equivalent combination of education and experience may be considered, so no minimum degree is hard-required.
The 3–5 years of experience requirement is framed as 'preferred'; however, it is the only experience signal in the posting and is treated as the practical floor for total experience.
All certifications (CCNA, CCNP, CompTIA Network+, CompTIA Security+, Fortinet NSE, Microsoft credentials) are listed under a 'Preferred' heading and are not hard gates.
Networking equipment vendors (Cisco, Aruba, Fortinet) appear in the Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities section with 'or equivalent' language — captured as a single preferred skill with alternatives rather than separate required entries.
No compensation figures are provided; salary is described as based on education, certifications, experience, and the district's compensation schedule.
