Classified Substitutes includes positions such as, bus drivers, bus assistants, cafeteria assistants, clerical workers, clinic assistants, custodians, nurses and security assistants. This category also includes teacher assistant positions such as general assistant, kindergarten assistant, library/media assistant, PE assistant and special education assistant.
Instructional Substitutes are required to have 60 semester credit hours from an accredited institution. A copy of your transcripts must be included in your application.
