Substitute Teacher Registry

Please check back after July 3, 2023 to apply to be a substitute.

Substitute Teachers, Teaching Assistants, Teacher Aides, and School Nurses are in high demand and needed on an ongoing basis.

The Substitute Teacher Registry is a centralized service that enables districts to obtain substitute teachers and other staff to fill short- and long-term openings. The service includes recruiting, reference checking, and training. We currently place substitute teachers, teaching assistants, teacher aides, and school nurses in 27 area school districts, including BOCES, on a per diem basis. An ideal substitute is self-motivated, outgoing, enjoys working with children, patient, adaptable, and eager to acquire new skills.
