About Josh
Josh Czupryk is the founder and sole operator of Josh’s K12 Jobs Blast, the free, confidential, open-source job board dedicated exclusively to K12 leadership and transitioning educators.
Launched in 2022, the platform is updated weekly by Josh himself, indexing every certified leadership vacancy from more than 200 public school district career pages nationwide. All positions are published with verified salary data, multi-year trend tracking, and more than forty months of fully transparent, searchable historical records, ensuring no leadership opportunity remains hidden.
In just three years, Josh’s K12 Jobs Blast has grown into a network of 13,200+ verified members across all fifty states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico (78% women, 47% educators of color). The bi-monthly Jobs Blast newsletter now generates more than 500,000 annual reads, drives 180,000+ website visits, and delivers over 200,000 direct candidate clicks to live district postings each year. The companion LinkedIn community has reached 59,000 followers and 11 million impressions over the past two years.
There is one red line Josh will not cross: job seekers will never be charged a single dollar.
By providing real-time salary transparency and market intelligence to both candidates and hiring organizations, the platform accelerates equitable hiring and helps retain the experienced, diverse leaders that students, families, and communities need most.
Currently Board Chair of the Diverse Learners Cooperative, a board member of the University of Florida Alumni Association LGBTQ+ Affiliate Network, and leader of the LGBTQ+ Affinity Group for the Broad Center at Yale SOM, Josh brings deep practitioner experience to the work. His career spans classroom teaching (Teach For America – Mississippi Delta Corps 2007), school and network leadership roles (Chief Academic & Operations Officer, Chief Strategy & Operations Officer, Chief of Staff, Managing Director of Academics), and system-level strategy across public, charter, and laboratory schools.
A doctoral candidate in learning sciences at the University of Memphis (dissertation phase, focusing on autism spectrum disorder in adolescents), Josh holds a Master’s in Educational Leadership from the Broad Center at Yale School of Management (2018) and dual Bachelor’s degrees in Public Relations and Political Science from the University of Florida (2007).
The son of two lifelong public-school teachers, Josh lives in Memphis, Tennessee with his partner Bailey Cato Czupryk and their two sons, Grayson and Jack. He remains driven by a single conviction: every single kid deserves great leaders in their school.
