Some positions are open until filled or closed, but there are other positions that remain open on a longer basis. The length of job postings can vary from position to position and department to department.

Consider applying as an instructional substitute in our school district. This is the best way to receive competitive pay and get seen by campus administrative and instructional staff. Individuals can obtain daily substitute jobs at all levels and gain first hand experience working in our schools that can be additionally listed on a resume. We respect and value our substitutes and LISD administrators take notice of dedicated substitutes. We have had many individuals who served as instructional substitutes or instructional aides transition into teaching positions within the district after they acquired their degrees and teaching certification.
