Substitute Information

Thank you for your interest in WISD.
Our August Orientation session is filled to capacity. All applications received this month for the position of substitute will be retained in our system. This enables applicants to "attach" your file when the substitute position becomes available (possibly in November).

Thank you for visiting the substitute information webpage.  Substitute qualifications, the application process, and other information is posted below.

Qualification

• Have a High School Diploma or GED equivalent and
• Meet minimum age requirement for teacher certification (18)  and
• Meet one of the following qualifications:
  

1. Have a two or four year degree  or
2. Have at least 30 hours college credit or
3. Have volunteered the previous school year (at least 80 hours) in the WISD volunteer program with a recommendation from the principal.
   
   NOTE: All substitutes in the Weatherford Independent School District are required to comply with the fingerprinting requirements of Senate Bill 9.  After completing the required Substitute Orientation an individual’s name will be submitted to the State Board of Educator Certification (SBEC) to begin the fingerprinting process.  The cost for this process is $50.20 for non-certified substitutes and $52.20 for certified substitutes and is paid by the substitute at the time of fingerprinting.

Application Process

1. When the need for substitute teachers for WISD arises, you will be able to complete the online application.
   
2. Applications will be kept in the FAST TRACK APPLICATION system and if you are not selected for the current orientation, you will be able to log on to the system and attach your application to the new posting for substitutes.
   
3. Selected applicants will be contacted by the Substitute Coordinator to schedule them into the next available orientation session.  Orientation sessions are held in August, November, and February.  In the event the district’s substitute pool is adequate to meet the needs of the district an orientation session may be canceled.  It is not necessary for an applicant to contact the Human Resources office.
