Three-Year Short-Term Substitute Permit Requirements

The Three-Year Short-Term Substitute Permit may be granted to a person who holds a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited four-year bachelor degree granting institution, but has not complete a state-approved educator preparation program. The three-year short-term substitute permit allows the holder to accept short-term substitute assignments in any subject at any grade level (no more than 20 days total in a specific assignment).

The three-year short-term substitute permit may be issued when a school district has a shortage of licensed substitute educators. It must be requested by the employing school district on the applicant's behalf and the district must have a plan for providing training to the substitute permit holder. The PI-1602-SP form includes a 'School District Request' section to be completed by the superintendent or designated official of the school district for this purpose.

1. A completed PI-1602-SP form, including School District Request on Page 2.
