At Pasco School District, substitutes are not just an important part of our team; they are vital to the success of our students. Whether you're looking for flexibility in your work schedule or aiming for a long-term career in education, substituting offers a fantastic opportunity to make a meaningful impact in our district.

Why Choose Substituting?

  • Flexibility: Substituting empowers you to select where and when you want to work. You're in control of your schedule, allowing for a work-life balance that suits your needs.

  • Diverse Experiences: As a substitute, you'll have the chance to gain experience working in various positions throughout the district. This exposure can be incredibly valuable if you aspire to pursue a permanent role in education.

  • Path to Permanent Positions: Many of our substitute employees eventually find themselves in permanent positions within our school staff. School administrators and supervisors have the opportunity to witness your skills firsthand, making you a prime candidate for future openings.
