Job Description

The road to becoming a substitute

• In order to be a substitute in the district a candidate must have minimally a high school diploma.
• Candidates interested in becoming a substitute must complete a substitute application to start the process. The application may be obtained and completed electronically via www.schoolspring.com, paper copy available at the Superintendent’s Office or downloaded via the district website via www.rsu35.org.
• Candidates interested in becoming a substitute must be eligible and obtain a Maine Department of Education C.H.R.C fingerprint certificate. The certificate when issued is valid for 5 years unless notified otherwise. This is a two-step process with candidate registering on line to have prints taken at a local facility and then submitting the MDOE initial application via their portal to meet initial requirements. (Please request the MDOE account set up and instructions for submitting initial application)
• Upon completion of initial MDOE fingerprint requirements the application and supporting documents will be reviewed by human resources. If appropriate a substitute interview will be scheduled with one of the building level principals or district nurse coordinator.
• Upon recommendation of building level principal the candidate will be notified that he/she is eligible to substitute in the district. At this time, candidate completes payroll documents to include direct deposit, W4’s federal and state, Maine Public Employees Retirement enrollment (optional as a substitute) and I-9 identification form (proof identification in person is needed for this form).
• As a substitute in a Maine school district you have the option of enrolling in the Maine Public Employee Retirement System (7.65% contribution). This is a one time opt in/out option for each district. You are able to earn service credit hours for subbing. Please note the below exception to service credit hours.
