    Substitute Paraeducators are valued members of the ½ûÂþÌìÌà community who play an integral role in supporting our students and schools every day. Working as a Substitute with ½ûÂþÌìÌà requires a high level of flexibility and adaptability, as Substitutes are eligible to work throughout the district in any school, any subject, and any grade level. Substitute Paraeducators work a flexible schedule on an as-needed basis, and have the ability to assign themselves to jobs via the Absence Management system.
