What are we asking for?

Now that's interesting...
On the newly-revamped Worcester Public Schools' website, there is a link to job postings.
Here is what a bunch of them say under "requirements":

Bachelors Degree required
Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education licensure preferred.

No experience required Bachelors degree preferred

I'm a little unclear on how we can both "require" and "prefer" a Bachelor's degree.

Also, we're starting by saying no experience required? We begin from there?

And we only prefer the state-mandated license?

This is a problem.
