Persons wishing to be on our substitute list are employed with the school district on an “on call” basis only. You will be called when needed and/or requested. When school is not in session, substitutes do not work. Persons wishing to serve as substitute teachers in the La Junta Public School System must submit a complete application file to the Superintendent's office. This file includes your application, and other pertinent information as per request of this office. These records plus a withholding tax statement, I-9 report, and a PERA Member Record form are required before placement on the substitute list. For first time employees there is a fingerprinting card to be completed and returned. The employee is responsible for the processing cost which is approximately $39.50. Upon clearance by the CBI, this fee will be refunded to you in your first paycheck. If you do not work for the district, that fee will not be refunded to you. Your file will be screened by the Substitute Coordinator and administration and approved by the Board of Education before placement on the list.
**If you would like your name removed from the list, please notify Substitute Coordinator, Sheryl Wahlert, at 384-6908 or via email at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
