In a letter, JISD Director of Curriculum & Instruction Lynn Phillips announced the opportunity to become a substitute teacher for the 2020-2021 school year.
“The exciting start to another school year is under way, and I am so glad you are making the commitment to substitute teach in Jefferson,” Phillips wrote. “It is very important that, prior to the training date, your file is current, and you have provided all necessary documentation.”
To become a substitute teacher at JISD, one must fill out an application, provide a resume, provide current references, be fingerprinted, pass a background check, and be approved by the JISD School Board. A half day of training is also required to provide orientation and expectations to potential substitutes.
If interested in becoming a substitute, contact the JISD Administration building for an application. Previous substitutes need to make sure their resume and references are current. For questions, contact Barbara Cox at 903-665-2461.
The training will be held from 9 a.m. to Noon on August 4, 2020., in the Commons Area of the High School. A face mask is required for the training session. Training is required before one can be placed on the substitute list.
