Substitute teachers are always needed in Lauderdale County School System. All substitute candidates are required to complete a TBI/FBI fingerprint background check prior to being hired. Hiring of substitutes ends on May 1st of each school year and begins again after July 1st. Current substitutes are required to provide in writing their intent to continue to substitute in the next school year no later than July 1st each year. If written notice is not received, substitutes will be inactivated in the system and may have to apply again.

Our custodial work is handled by HES Facilities Management, an independent contractor. HES uses a hard copy application separate from our online system for candidates considering janitorial work. Applications can be picked up at the front desk at the Board of Education office. An FBI/TBI background check is required to be considered for janitorial work in the school system.
