Substitute Teacher Registry

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. 

Minimum Requirements for Substituting: 
- Teachers- proof of 30 -120 college credits/bachelor’s degree, or certification, depending on the school district. 
- Teaching Assistants proof of a high school diploma or a GED diploma.
- Teacher Aides proof of a high school diploma or a GED diploma.
- Nurses must have an RN and/or LPN license. 
- Clerical proof of a high school diploma or a GED diploma. 

Selected applicants will be subject to a fingerprint-supported criminal history background check in accordance with SAVE Legislation effective July 1, 2001. The applicant will also be responsible for the cost ($101.75) of the required fingerprinting. If you have been fingerprinted already for NYSED, you do not need to be reprinted.
