Do I have to work every day?
Substituting allows individuals the flexibility to choose when they want to work and how often. However, we do encourage substitutes to work as often as available, as they are a critical part of our team in educating children. The District has a 20-day minimum that we require our subs to work.

Do I have choice in my assignment?
Substitutes are able to select which position they wish to fill. With 42 schools, students ranging in ages from 4-21, and several specialty schools and programs, there are many opportunities for substitutes to find their unique fit or enjoy a wide variety of teaching assignments. Substitutes have the availability to set their visibility of open positions and may choose to sub only at a preferred school or may choose to sub at all schools in the District.

What is the rate of pay for substitutes?
The District recently raised the substitute support staff rate of pay to $15 per hour! Subs in long-term positions have the potential to earn $16 per hour.

How are substitutes paid?
All District employees are paid on the 16th and last day of the month. Substitutes are required to use the District’s time clock system to record their time worked.

How do I know if I would be a good fit?
Support staff substitutes need to have a high school diploma or equivalent. Subs should have experience working with children.
