Certificated substitutes work on an on-call, as-needed basis. There is no guarantee of assignments, nor is there a guarantee that you will be hired as an employee. As a substitute you are assigned to fill the position of a regular employee who is absent from service. Certificated substitutes are subject to specific assignments, transfers, or termination of assignments, at the discretion of the District. A Certificated Substitute Handbook is available for your reference.
*Applications for certificated substitutes are accepted throughout the year but submission of an application for employment does not guarantee an offer of employment.
* *Candidates without clearance of a fingerprint background check performed by local law enforcement for the school district, will not be allowed to work until after clearance has been obtained.
