• 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 Teaches 2018-19 School Year.  Applicants will need to be interviewed by the school's principal prior to employment.  
     
    After interviewing with the school principal, candidates will be required to come to Central Office for fingerprinting and central registry clearance. As of July 1, 2012 the fees associated with the clearance checks will be paid by the substitute teacher. The cost for fingerprinting and central registry is $37.00. This can be paid by check, cash, or money order to Augusta County Schools.
     
    Substitute teachers shall be employed and paid on an hourly basis without issuance of an employment contract.
