District 150 places ad for substitute teachers

6 Comments

In today’s Journal Star classifieds:

Employment Opportunity with Peoria Public Schools Peoria, Illinois Peoria Public Schools, Peoria, Illinois, has immediate openings for: SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS Qualifications: B.A./B.S. degree; must meet all other eligibility requirements required by Illinois School Code. Send resume and letter of interest to: Peoria School District 150 Human Resources Dept. 3202 N. Wisconsin Dept. Peoria, IL 61603 Attn: Substitute Teacher, We are an Equal Opportunity Employer.

Kind of a hardball tactic during contract negotiations. On the other hand, how many substitute teachers want to be scabs for District 150?

  2. This ad is a call for anyone possessing a bachelor’s degree in any discipline – in certification parlance, a “type 39 substitute.” In plain English, these are not degreed teachers and their sub certificates must be renewed on a yearly basis. However, the ad did not preclude individuals who are degreed teachers in possession of valid Illinois teacher certification from applying.

    No surprise here – a large proportion of the subs on the District’s sub list are “type 39” subs and always have been.

  3. Back when I was subbing, I submitted my certificate and qualifications to District 150. I had been told many times that the district was hurting for subs willing to work in some of the “more urban” schools. A month later, I heard nothing and I called to find out what the problem was and was told that the there was a stack of sub applications that no one had bothered to open. Who was in charge at that time? Kay Royster.

  4. Mr. Dennis – when were you subbing? There is one desk in the HR Department dedicated entirely to subs. If there was a backlog of sub applications the problem was with that desk.

  6. So are we to assume that this ad was only in regards to the pending strike? I am pretty sure I have seen similar ads for District 150 at various times during the years.

    Perhaps they just needed subs.
