- All applicants must have current BCI and FBI background checks. Fingerprinting for a background check can be completed at the Mid-Ohio ESC office for a fee. Appointments are required.
- Substitutes must hold a substitute license OR a current teaching license through the Ohio Department of Education.
- If you do not have a current substitute or teaching license, please apply for the applicable license* through the Ohio Department of Education using Mid-Ohio ESC’s IRN number 123521.

*Update September 23, 2022
In accordance with the passage of HB 583, school districts may establish their own substitute teacher requirements for this school year (2022-23) and next school year (2023-24). Individuals without a post-secondary Bachelor’s degree may apply for a non-renewable Temporary Substitute License – 1 Year (Non-Bachelors). Not all area school districts have adopted the same criteria to be a substitute teacher in their district. If you are applying to substitute teach under HB 583, please contact the school(s) of interest to verify eligibility and other requirements.
