Comments and Other Information
Please note that your completed online application must include all of the required supplemental documentation. Emailed or Faxed supplemental documents will not be accepted. Incomplete applications will not be considered. Employment with the San Diego County Office of Education is contingent upon successful completion of a post-offer background check and physical exam, which includes a drug and alcohol screening.
It is important to note to become a substitute/limited-term employee, there will be a fingerprinting requirement that currently costs $77 (this is an up-front, out-of-pocket cost that must be paid in the form of a money order or cashiers check). In addition, if you apply and are selected for a permanent position at any point there would be an additional $77 cost (currently) for fingerprinting as a permanent employee (taken out of your first regular paycheck).
The ESSA exam will be administered by the SDCOE HR office and offered (virtually) twice a month.
The San Diego County Office of Education is an equal opportunity employer.
Because each person is born with inherent worth and dignity, and because equitable access and opportunity are essential to a just, educated society, SDCOE employee commitments include being respectful of differences and diverse perspectives, and being accountable for ones actions and the resulting impact.
