How to become a substitute teacher
Our students need you!

Are you interested in serving as a substitute teacher in the Ray-Pec School District? It's a great way to earn extra income, while maintaining flexibility in your schedule, and helping the school district.

You may have heard that the Ray-Pec School Board recently raised the teacher substitute pay rate for the 2023-2024 school year to $175/day. Ray-Pec substitutes can choose the grade level and schools they want to work at.

In order to substitute in Missouri, you must obtain a Substitute Certificate. There are two ways to qualify. You can either submit a college transcript showing 36 hours or complete a 20-hour online course.  

Here are the steps to obtain a Substitute Certificate:

  1. Complete an online substitute certification application. For assistance, follow instructions in the Educator Certification System Help Guide. You will create a profile and complete an application. A $50 fee is required.
  2. Submit required supporting documentation to the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. This includes transcripts showing college credit or certificate of completion from an online training course and your high school diploma (or equivalent.)
  3. Fingerprint/background check. Please wait on this step until after you interview with the district.

If you have any questions please reach out to our Human Resources office at 816-892-1321.
