I'm in Livingston and we are having a huge subsitute
crisis. Basically, we can not ever get a sub at the last
minute. The big joke is that you have to plan your
illnesses and emergencies, only it's not a joke. Not only
that, we are required to find our own subs with no help
from the school. Which is so easy when you or your child
is sick.

We are trying to get the system changed but they want
solutions not problems. How do other schools or parishes
handle subsitutes? What do you do if they do not show or
you cannot find someone? Any suggestions would be better
than what we have now!

Does your district use one of the centralized online
databases like Aesop or SubCentral? Are you just cold

Ouachita Parish provides subs for the teachers. The subs
aren't great, but the system does get people into the
classrooms. Like a previous posted said, Ouachita is a very
good employer.

you don't book your sub 3 weeks in advance, you are out of luck.
(Considering I am 8 months pregnant, that is not so easy. I
literally schedule doctor's appointments around sub
availablity.) Forget having an emergency and needing someone

My former school did it the way you are talking about. It was
horrible. In my present system they use Aesop. If you are sick,
you just enter your request into the online / telephone system.

Does Morehouse Parish still make teachers call their own
subs?

The answer is this. If you have to be somewhere and cannot
find a sub, call and say you cannot find a sub. If the
sytem tries to take any disciplinary actions against you,
call your teacher union or get a lawyer.
