Below you will find step by step instructions on how to obtain a 30-Day Substitute Teaching Permit for Prospective Teachers.

The Emergency Substitute Teaching Permit for Prospective Teachers authorizes the holder to serve as a day-to-day substitute teacher in any classroom, including preschool, kindergarten, and grades 1-12 inclusive, or in classes organized primarily for adults.

The permit is valid for one year and may be renewed only once. 

Questions should be directed to Zeke Lopez, Human Resources Generalist, at HR@byron.k12.ca.us.

Prior to being cleared to serve as a certificated substitute teacher, all candidates must possess a 30-Day Substitute Teaching Permit (or any other K-12 credential) issued by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC).

Step 1: Certificate of Clearance
Obtain a Certificate of Clearance through the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (See COC Instructions).

Fingerprint clearance through the California Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is required from every applicant prior to the Commission’s issuance of any credential, permit, certificate, or waiver.

You are REQUIRED to have a separate livescan completed for the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing even if you have already completed one for Byron Union School District.

The Certificate of Clearance (C O C) is a document issued by the Commission to an individual who has completed the Commission's fingerprint character and identification process.

Step 2: Official Transcripts
Request to have your "official" transcripts verifying completion of a minimum of 90 semester units from a regionally accredited four-year college or university sent to Human Resources at zlopez@byron.k12.ca.us.

In order to submit your application to the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC), they require us to submit an "official" copy of your transcripts (see Transcript Guidelines).

Transcripts By Mail: Transcripts sent by mail must be mailed to the HR Department directly from the college/university. 

Transcripts By Email: Transcripts sent electronically must be sent to the HR Department directly from the college/university.

The Human Resources Department must also be identified as the intended recipient. Transcripts sent electronically directly to the educator cannot be accepted. 

Step 3: Verification of Enrollment
Provide Human Resources with a verification of enrollment in a regionally-accredited four-year California college or university.

This may be verified by an original letter from the registrar of the office of admissions, or official transcripts showing current work-in-progress.

Step 4: Satisfy Basic Skills Requirement
Please visit the CTC website on ways to meet the BSR.

Step 5: Complete Online Application
Once you have received your Certificate of Clearance and your "official" transcripts have been received, HR will submit an online recommendation for the issuance of your 30-Day Substitute Teaching Permit.

Once the online recommendation has been submitted to the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC), you login to the CTC webiste and complete your online recommendation and pay the issuance fee of $100.00 + online service fee (currently $2.65).

Your 30-Day Sub Permit will be issued within 10 days of completing your online application.
