Update on Substitute Teacher Licensing (Effective September 23, 2022)
With the passage of HB 583, school districts may set their own substitute teacher requirements for the 2024-2025 school year. This includes the option to apply for a Non-Renewable Temporary Substitute License – 1 Year (Non-Bachelor’s) for individuals without a post-secondary Bachelor’s degree. Please note that not all districts have adopted the same criteria, so if you are applying under HB 583, verify eligibility and requirements with the specific school districts of interest.
Required Documents
Returning substitutes: Mid-Ohio ESC cannot provide e-signatures on ODE applications until your Substitute Teacher Application has been received.
