Substitutes:
New Policy Changes Effective March 1st

There are some new policy changes regarding substitute teachers that will go into effect on March 1st.

  • New call out times

    • In the past, SubFinder started calling out at 6:00 a.m.

    • As of March 1st, SubFinder will start calling out at 5:30 a.m.

  • Cancellations: 

    • In the past, substitute teachers could cancel a job as close as 1 ½ hours before the start of the job.

    • As of March 1st, the earliest a substitute can cancel a job is 24 hours before the start of the job.  If a substitute needs to cancel a job within the 24 hour window, they are to call the school directly to make arrangements.

  • Order of Call Outs:  

    • In the past, SubFinder was designed to call out on what is called skill levels.  Typically, the system was designed to call out on certified personnel first, then degreed, then non degreed.

    • As of March 1st, the system will be set up to call those subs who have demonstrated a consistent work pattern first, regardless of certification of degree status.

These changes were necessary in order to fill positions more consistently on a daily basis.
