I had the district interview and the lady sent me right to one of the high schools to meet the substitute liaison. Because of my 25 years of experience, I don't have to attend the normal training classes. Financial paperwork is all filled out. The business manager was helpful, too, with planning for my retirement. It appears I have to work the last 5 years in a permanent position before I actually retire in order to qualify for health and life insurance benefits. So
I can't substitute my way to retirement
It seems they have a shortage of certified substitute teachers and no certified math substitutes. I enjoyed meeting the second lady at the high school. T
The sad part is that this district pays little more than minimum wage for certified substitutes. I am hoping to turn this into an opportunity to get a full time position. In the meantime I will be looking outside the education field for better paying jobs.
It seems that my boss never sent a reference for me. A friend who was also a supervisor sent in a reference. I hope that this new situation as a substitute doesn't get screwed up.
The other long term position person did not call back and the position in another district was already taken. I am assuming I am persona non gratis (sp?) in my old system.
