Substitute Hiring Can a school district hire a permanent substitute instead of a certified teacher who applied for the same position?
Pursuant to Section 21.003 of the Texas Education Code, school districts must follow the state certification rules when hiring teachers and other professional personnel. The rules governing certification requirements can be found in 19 TAC 230 of the Texas Administrative Code, and the rules governing assignment of public school personnel can be found in 19 TAC 230.601. If a person who is uncertified or serving under an emergency certificate is assigned to the same classroom for more than 30 days, the superintendent must provide written notice of the assignment to parents of students in the classroom per Section 21.057, Texas Education Code. For more information contact the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC).
