Substitute Teacher

A major priority of the Texas City Independent School District is the employment of highly qualified teachers as well as highly qualified individuals to serve as substitutes in the absence of regular classroom staff.  District staff are sometimes unavailable to fulfill their regular assignments due to personal or family illness, professional development activities, or other school related duties and, in their absence, substitute team members provide the essential function of continuity of the educational process for District students.

Working under the direct supervision of the principal, substitute teachers are expected to comply with the school laws of Texas, the regulations of the State Board of Education, the directives of the Texas Education Agency, the policies of the Board of Trustees, and the administrative regulations of the school district.
