Substitutes are able to choose which assignments to accept. While we welcome and encourage substitute teachers to work in a variety of buildings and settings, they are ultimately able to decide if they would like to accept available assignments.
We deactivate substitutes who have not worked at least one (1) day in a school year. Substitutes are notified annually to confirm their interest in remaining on our list.
The District does not have its own limits regarding substituting, but the state has established parameters for certain individuals. Per ISBE:
  • No more than 90 consecutive days on substitute license
  • Retired teachers are able to work up to 120 days in a given school year.
  • Substitute teachers with an STS license cannot remain in the same position for the same teacher for longer than 5 consecutive days, though there is no limit to the total number of non-consecutive days that STS substitutes can serve in any position.
Most vacancies are posted to the District’s automated absence system, Frontline. Substitute teachers can sign up to receive an alert any time a new vacancy is posted or they can check available vacancies as they are interested/available. Some vacancies are posted well in advance, and others become available as same-day positions each morning. Occasionally, District personnel call substitutes to notify them of vacancies as needed.
