With the flexibility to choose when and where you work, this role is an excellent option for anyone seeking a part-time position that is both rewarding and impactful.

Application and Hiring Process

We do our best to ensure substitutes are processed as quickly as possible within a timely manner and appreciate your patience during this process. It is important to review email communications and complete and/or provide any necessary information requested. Failure to comply with any request during the application process will result in the delay of the hiring process leading up to and/or may include withdrawal of processing your application.

• Step 1:  To be considered for a Substitute Teacher position, you must first complete an online application. You must be eligible and meet the minimum requirements listed in the job description to be considered. After your application has been reviewed, our office will reach out via email with information regarding next steps in the application/hiring process. The estimated turnaround time is 1-2 business days.  During the school year, there are peak times in which high volumes of substitute applications are being received.  Please understand that this will delay the estimated turnaround time—your patience is greatly appreciated.
• Step 2:   Upon approval of your application, you will receive an email inviting you to complete a video interview via Hirevue. The invitation will be sent to the email address you provided in your application.  You will have 72 hours to complete the interview before the link expires. (please be sure to check junk or spam email throughout this process).
• Step 3:   If you are approved for hire, a welcome email will be sent to the address provided in your application. Please follow the instructions in this email for the next required steps, which include reviewing the LISD and Substitute Employee Handbooks, completing the substitute orientation and compliance videos, and scheduling a fingerprinting appointment if you do not already have fingerprint records on file with TEA. Fingerprinting and background checks are in accordance with TEA. We do not accept clearance from any other agencies. A separate fee applies to fingerprinting and is to be paid for by the applicant.
• Step 4:  An email notification from [email protected] will also be sent to the email that is listed on your application to complete the New Employee Forms online. Once you receive a final email notification that all your forms are completed you will be invited to bring your I9 verification docs to LISD Central Admin Office at 204 W. South St., Leander, TX at the designated time provided in the welcome email.
• Step 5:  Hired substitutes are required to attend the next available in-person training that is offered. The sub office will provide you with a date and time of the scheduled training. This is the final step of the hiring process. Please note, until you attend training you will not be able to sub in any assignments.
