Substitute TEaching

In order to be a substitute teacher for schools within the Vermilion County Regional Office of Education, you need to either hold a valid PEL, SUB, or STS license.

Educators who have a current PEL do not need a substitute teaching license.

If you have an ELS-PARA license (not short-term approval) & a college degree, you are not required to have an additional license to substitute.
