Substitute Application

Application Steps:

The application can be found online through Applicant Tracking.
Applications are reviewed and a criminal background check is conducted on qualified applicants.
Individuals with a high school diploma or college degree (but without a teaching certificate) will also need Effective Teacher Training.
Upon completion of the application and background clearance, you will receive the volunteer hours form via email, to complete your 18 volunteer hours. These must be completed at one school and be signed by the principal.
Confidential reference checks are then performed on qualified applicants.
If approved for employment as a substitute teacher, the applicant will be invited to attend New Substitute Teacher Orientation.
Upon completion of orientation and submission of required forms, the new substitute teacher will be entered into the absence management system, AESOP. The new substitute teacher will claim their JCPS ID account which will allow access to Frontline/AESOP, and begin substitute teaching.
