The president is who "appoints" the position. My dad just works with the council chair (who gives resumes to the President).
I think I have a good chance, not a shoe in though.
I am qualified. I have my B.s/M.Ed in the field, and have 8 years of experience doing it in a different sector.
The money is better than what I make at a public university. Plus, I am in Georgia, the job is in LA.

It's fine. Less money than private sector work, but unlike the private sector, you won't be required to provide results. If you plan on working there longterm for the retirement, assuming it's parochial, it's worth it, as you can make up to 90% of your highest annual pay, instead of social security.
For instance, say you avg. $60k per year for three years at some point. If you had 90% rate, which is 30 years (+3% per year, capped at 30 years) of service, instead of social security, you would make $4,500 per month for your retirement. Social security, retiring at 65 and making $60k every year, would get you about $1,500 per month. So..... depends on what you want. A plant job where you can get laid off, but you make a lot of money immediately, or the slow and steady approach.
