Substitute Opportunities
As a substitute teacher you are an important part of our team in the Liberty Public School District. The Liberty School District employs substitute teachers to assist in the absence of regular classroom teachers, school nurses, and para-professionals/teachers aides. Please review the information below to answer your questions about substituting in Liberty Schools. Please contact Jill Vochatzer at jvochatzer@liberty.k12.mo.us to answer any questions.

Guidelines and Expectations:
The Liberty Public School District uses an automated system called AESOP. Staff members enter absences into the system, which creates an open job assignment. AESOP processes the jobs through a computerized database and, at the defined calling times, calls the substitutes according to their profile to fill the assignments. As a substitute, you must be registered with the system and trained how to use the system.
Once on the substitute list, substitutes are asked to follow these guidelines:
- Arrange personal schedules to be able to leave home on short notice
- Notify the Substitute Coordinator of change in address or phone number
- Notify the Substitute Coordinator if you wish to be removed permanently from the list
The Liberty Public School District has high expectations for substitutes, including punctuality, appropriate behavior, professional dress and confidentiality. Substitutes can expect support from the school staff and administration. See Liberty Public Schools handbooks for more information regarding substitutes:
