Do substitute teachers have a benefit option?

Answer 1

Like many other workers, teachers have an employment contract. The terms of the contract dictate whether or not substitutes have a benefit option. The employment contract of teachers in public schools is a public document, which means that members of the public can read it. To find out if the teachers in a particular district have a benefit option, visit or write to the human resources director in the district and ask for a copy of the teacher contract. Expect to pay for your copy. Another possibility is to ask any teacher in the district to show you the teacher contract. The full contract is usually a booklet or an online document which outlines all the requirements for teachers and the district for one academic year.
