Substitutes
The North Country Supervisory Union is always looking for dynamic and passionate individuals to substitute within our schools. A substitute acts as a positive role models for our students while having the flexibility to set your own schedule within a variety of work environments. It also provides an excellent opportunity to gain experience within the school system in order to eventually be qualified for a full-time position.
Requirements for being hired as a substitute include a High School Diploma, or GED, as well as submitting a resume and completing a background fingerprint check.
CHAPERONES and VOLUNTEERS
The North Country Supervisory Union recognizes the valuable contributions made to the schools by volunteers. A volunteer means an individual not employed by the school district who works on an occasional or regular basis in the school setting to assist the staff. A volunteer works without compensation or economic benefits. It further recognizes that appropriate supervision, whenever possible of volunteers, will enhance their contributions as well as fulfill the responsibility that the school district has for the education and safety of its students.
In addition, chaperones are often needed for field trips. Field trips are an important educational activity which is an authentic form of curriculum implementation. All chaperones and volunteers must complete an online background check. Overnight field trips do also require a fingerprint background check.
North Country Supervisory Union maintains an approved substitute, chaperone and volunteer list to ensure that each are appropriately screened prior to entering into service in the school district, and that only those who have been screened and approved by the superintendent have extended unsupervised contact with students. To get on this approval list individuals must complete a packet that gives NCSU the authorization to do a criminal background check as well as child, adult and sexual abuse registry checks. In addition, substitutes are required to complete a fingerprint authorization certificate and have their fingerprints taken prior to substituting with the district. Online background checks can take up to 3-4 business days to verify, and fingerprint results can take between 8-12 weeks to verify, so please plan accordingly. Once on the approval list, as long as some substituting, chaperoning or volunteering is done every school year, individuals remain active. If ever a gap of one full school year goes by with no activity then the process will have to be re-done.
The screening packet link is below. Once completed please return to the NCSU office for processing.
