Long Term Substituting

You may not be considered for a long term substitute position if you only hold a county sub-certificate. A Long Term Substitute must hold a teaching certificate in the subject area of the classroom.  A separate district application must be completed. The principal of the school reviews the applicant pool to identify candidates of interest and will follow up with you accordingly.
