Substitute

All substitutes are required to attend a yearly substitute in-service training session.  New substitutes attend a 4-hour in-service session prior to becoming active in the substitute system.  Returning substitutes will be asked to update their applications and attend a 2 hour in-service session each year.

CCSD93 uses the Frontline Absence Management automated substitute calling system. Substitute teachers can sign up to receive an alert when a vacancy is posted or they can check available vacancies when they are available.  Some vacancies are posted well in advance, and others become available as a same day position each morning.  Training on this system is done for new substitutes during the 4-hour in-service.

There are no specific requirements regarding a minimum number of days worked. Substitutes who rarely accept positions will be notified annually to confirm their interest in remaining on our list.  

The state of IL has established parameters for certain individuals.  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 15 consecutive days.  Those with a SUB license can work a maximum of 90 consecutive days in the same position.

Substitutes choose which assignments to accept.  We encourage substitute teachers to work in a variety of buildings and settings. However, they are ultimately able to decide if they would like to accept available assignments.
