I watch my grandkids, but would substitute once they all get in school.

Yes they do. Just fill out the job application like anyone else.


and schedule a fingerprinting appointment and pay for that and other background checks. Roughly $50.

If its good enough for you to demand others do it, why can't you? You need the staff at the schools!


I love you.

This. No more excuses. Take leave and go sub if nothing whatsoever is more important than your kids being housed in buildings while COVID numbers spike.

For the 5% of the people on DCUM who indignantly claim to be Front Line Healthcare Workers every time this is suggested, you are exempt. The rest of you — get to work. We’re all rooting for ya!

Seriously? What school/how did you do this? I absolutely would be happy to help. Would have had more leave to volunteer if I was not out 1/3 of December with kids exposed at school but I’m willing to do what I can!

If this is the case, I love MoCo! FCPS (precovid) there were way too many parents in the classroom and being hired at their kid's school.

Two months agao, I submitted an application to be a substitute teacher, completed the online background check, training, etc. but I haven't heard anything. How should I follow-up?

Allow. Non-employee. Substitutes.

Can still require all the trainings/background checks. Doesn't shackle a person with employee status for something that isn't always a full-time job. Lets people deduct things they otherwise couldn't. Allows more at-will engagement.

A lot of professionals have professions that don’t allow for a “side hustle”, unlike teaching.



A lot of professions pay a living wage so there is no need for a "side hustle."

No and H no. Just volunteering in a classroom was enough and this was pre pandemic.
