SUMMARY

To automatically check webpages for changes, users can utilize the Chrome extension Page Monitor, which allows for daily monitoring of up to 50 webpages, such as employment pages from school districts. This tool notifies users of any updates, including job postings. While Page Monitor is effective, subscribing to an RSS feed is a simpler alternative if available on the target website. Users should ensure they have Google Chrome installed to use this extension.

Is there a way to set a browser to automatically check a list of webpages once a day, then notify you if there is a change to that webpage?

Specifically, I'd like a program to check the employment page of about 50 different school districts each day and notify me if a job is posted.

I used to use Page Monitor when I wanted to keep up with certain blogs that weren't setup for RSS.

It's a Chrome addon, so you'll obviously need Chrome. Then you simply visit the page, click the button, and you'll get notifications. I don't use it anymore, but I think there was a setting to set how often you want the changes to be checked.

An easier way would be to subscribe to their RSS feed, assuming they have one.
