Substitute Application and Information 

Thank you for applying to be a substitute with the ONC BOCES Substitute Teacher Registry. This is a service provided to 7 school districts and the ONC BOCES. The Teacher Registry coordinates substitute recruitment, application process, and ensures applicants have been fingerprinted as required by the NYS Education Department. If you are selected as a substitute, you will be required to pay the fingerprinting fee. This is a one-time fee and will allow you to substitute in all districts as indicated on your substitute application of employment. If you are not fingerprinted, information to complete this process can be found at: 

Fingerprinting Information 

If you already have a fingerprint clearance from the NYS Education Department, you will not need to be reprinted.

We realize the application is long and requires detailed information; please take the time necessary to complete the entire application accurately. Incomplete applications will not be considered.
