[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Still seeing a lot of sub jobs in FCPS going unfilled.  Could it be related
 to the pathetic pay rate for subs?[/quote]

I'm sub in FCPS. I'm sure the pay has a lot to do with it, but the other elephant in the room is that the sub office at Gatehouse is VERY inefficient. Getting your paperwork processed is a huge hassle (no one calls you back, and the people in charge of the hiring are rude and disorganized), it takes forever to get through to anyone on the phone, and they are not at all responsive if you need assistance with anything. This is not just my experience, either; when I was at orientation, every single person mentioned having numerous problems and more than a few said the system in various neighboring counties is much smoother. I would be willing to bet that a lot of qualified potential subs jump ship to other counties because they're so put off by the hiring process.  [/quote]

I'm a current teacher and have heard this from substitutes for years, especially retired teachers who wish to sub.[/quote]
