REQUIREMENTS FOR SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS:

 

A person interested in applying for the position of substitute teacher must be at least 18 years of age, hold a high school diploma or a GED certificate, and have a minimum of 30 college credits or two years of work experience with children.  Exceptions may be considered, please contact our office with questions.

 

Please complete the online Substitute application and submit.  Our Human Resources office will contact you with guidelines for an extensive background check and additional paperwork.  You will not be allowed to begin substituting with Lexington City Schools until the background checks are completed.  This can take approximately four weeks.  Once the Human Resources office receives your cleared background check you will then be added to our Personnel listing for the next available School Board meeting.  Once approved, you will be notified by our office and eligible to begin work.

 

Substitute teachers are paid one-hundred twenty-five dollars ($125) per day. 

 

Substitute teachers who hold a valid teacher license are eligible to serve as long-term substitutes.  Should the assignment be considered a long term position (defined as more than twenty (20) consecutive days in the same assignment) the teacher would be paid one hundred fifty dollars ($150) per day beginning on the twenty-first (21) day of the same assignment.

 

No substitute placed on the official approved list is guaranteed or entitled to any appointment or to regular appointments. The Human Resources department may remove substitutes from the official approved list for any reason.
