Substitute Teaching
Qualified substitutes are in demand and Augusta County Schools invites those interested to pursue this avenue of employment. People interested in substitute teaching should apply online under Substitute Teachers for 2024-2025. A minimum of two references are required, including a professional reference from a current or previous supervisor.
Applicants will be scheduled to come to Central Office for fingerprinting and central registry clearance. After successful completion and clearance, applicants will be invited to participate in a mandatory training/orientation session before being added to the approved substitute list.
Substitute teachers shall be employed and paid on an hourly basis without issuance of an employment contract.
