SUBSTITUTE TEACHER/AIDE INFORMATION
If you are interested in applying as a substitute teacher for Hoover City Schools, complete the Alabama Department of Education’s online application and apply for the Substitute Teacher job posting.  Substitute applications will be reviewed periodically based on need.  If you are selected, you will be contacted by an HR representative and instructed to complete a Hoover City Schools Substitute Employment Packet.  The following are minimal requirements:

If you do not have a current Alabama teaching certificate or substitute license, you will be required to apply for a substitute license.  HCS representatives will help you through this process, which typically takes two to four weeks.  The initial cost to become a substitute teacher is approximately $75.00 (these costs are for the Alabama Substitute license and the background clearance). At any time if you wish to check the status of your substitute license, go to the  ALSDE Public Portal site.
