Substitute Teacher - District Wide (SY)

Starting Date: Sep 8, 2026

BPS seeks Substitute Teachers to play critical roles in educating our children. BPS is looking for committed professionals to contribute to our focus on children by substituting in our schools. They must possess an educational philosophy that embraces the community vision for a rigorous academic program and champions that all children can learn at high levels.

Per diem substitute teachers work day‑to‑day assignments to fill positions on an interim basis, depending on availability.

Long‑term substitute teachers are either (1) teachers assigned to a position expected to be vacant for more than 20 consecutive workdays but less than a full school year, or (2) teachers serving continuously for more than 20 consecutive workdays in the same assignment.

A long‑term substitute teacher will receive a higher rate of pay after 10 consecutive workdays and again after 25 consecutive workdays.
