Perm Sub Position no longer but now on the sub list

DH was a perm sub for almost 4 years this year they got rid of Perm Sub so now he is just on the sub list. Would you go back as just a sub and suck it up for less money or keep looking else where? Also there was a position in his cert but was passed up for someone else that made a phone call to get this other teacher in.

I'm so sorry this happened to your husband :/ I'm waiting to hear if the board approves me going back for my third year as a perm. sub, and my fear is that they will get rid of the position as well. I haven't slept in weeks just worrying about what I'll be doing. I've tried to get on other districts' sub lists but no one is hiring per diems.

I think him getting passed up for a job is common with perm. sub positions. I know in my district they rarely consider us for jobs, no matter how good and well liked we are.

It may be a blessing in disguise for your DH, as he can now pursue other jobs in other districts.

I am in a very similar situation this year and to be honest, it is VERY hard for me to go back to being per diem. It feels demeaning in away (especially after I had my own classroom teaching summer school this past summer). I even considered giving up and going to a different field. I waffled for weeks before DH and I talked it over, and I finally decided to give it one more year. If nothing pops up for next school year, I am going just look for something else. I know it sucks for your DH, but if he really wants to be a teacher, he should stick it out for one more year.

I was a perm sub, left, then came back to subbing per-diem. Once the year progressed I was getting called everyday, got to know teachers in the buildings, etc. Is this in the same district he was a perm. sub in? He might be one of the first to get called anyway.

I'm actually ready to make my exit from teaching. I've been doing this for 4 years and just had a baby. DH and I can't be in this financial flux anymore. My dream has been to teach Kindergarten and I am heartbroken, but I also can't put my life on hold forever. I went to the Hofstra Educators seminar back in June and excessed was every other word I heard. It's so frustrating.

Good luck to your husband! I hope something comes up!

Hi! I feel so badly for him as you know! I would say that he should just go in and sub when they call. Have him get on the lists of a few local districts and he should be able to work everyday or close to it!
