Substitute Teacher Only Pool (Not Seeking Full-Time Employment)

The San Diego Unified School District is accepting applications for Substitute Teachers for in-person instruction only.
Please note that on 9/28/2021, the Board of Education mandated the COVID-19 vaccination as a requirement for employment.
This pool is for individuals who only wish to substitute for in-person instruction. If you wish to be considered for full-time or part-time positions, please apply to the appropriate pool.
Applicants must have a valid California teaching credential or a 30 day emergency permit.
