See Yourself Here: RCSD Hiring Substitute Teachers Now for the Upcoming School Year

(August 22, 2022) The Rochester City School District is actively recruiting for a variety of positions within its organization, and on Wednesday, August 24, the District will have a specific recruiting event to fill a number of openings, including substitute teachers. 


The District has been hosting weekly recruitment events throughout the community all summer long. At the event Wednesday, August 24, current substitute teachers will be available to speak with potential candidates about their experiences working as substitutes in the District. This event will take place at Mercantile on Main, 240 East Main Street, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Parking is being validated at the nearby Mortimer Street parking garage, and food vouchers are being provided through the generous support of donors. 


Pay rates for per-diem substitutes range from $128 to $239 dollars a day, based on the number of days worked. Being a substitute also offers a flexible work schedule, where individuals may elect to work just one day a week or as many as five. 


“Our substitute teachers have a profound impact on the lives of our students, and we hope to attract them to full-time positions,” said Chris Miller, Chief of Human Capital. “If an individual has two years of college experience, we invite them to join our team. Some substitutes will also be eligible to apply for medical and dental benefits after a specific time period working for the District. We need everyone’s help to spread the word we are hiring in the RCSD.”


In addition to substitute teachers, the District is also seeking teachers, paraprofessionals, teaching assistants, and clerical staff, as well as operational positions, including facilities, custodians, food service, transportation, and safety and security.
