The Copper Country Intermediate School District and a majority of its constituent local school districts have contracted with ESS/willSub to provide substitute teacher (and substitute aide) services.  Substitute applicants become employees of ESS/willSub.

Qualifications for subbing as a teacher are a valid Michigan teaching certificate or minimum of 60 semester credit hours from an accredited two or four year college or university (2.0 grade point or higher), and be able to pass a criminal history background check and employment unprofessional conduct background check.  Substitute aides must have a high school diploma and pass the same background checks.

Before starting the application process, you should review the Frequently Asked Questions for more complete details concerning qualifications, background checks, reporting of future offenses, and permits.
