Substitute Registration & Pay Rates

    Certificated Substitutes (Teachers)

    The Marin County Office of Education (MCOE) handles the initial (and annual thereafter) substitute registration for the Marin County school districts. If you are not already registered with MCOE to substitute in the county, please visit the MCOE website. When registering, make sure to list our district "Larkspur-Corte Madera" in your district preferences.

    • Once you are active on the MCOE sub list, please fill out the LCMSD Certificated Substitute New Hire Packet on Informed K-12, and
    • Complete/Request please follow the attached instructions to request an Unprofessional Conduct Form, (per AB 2534 requirements) from your former employer(s) via Verifent. NOTE: You only need to request the form from any employers who required a credential as a condition of employment (this includes substitute teaching with an Emergency or 30-day Substitute Permit". If you do not have any previous employer(s)/employment that required a credential, please let me know.

    After completing the Substitute Packet, please contact Linda Tarantino at ltarantino@lcmschools.org or 415-927-6960 ext. 3 to schedule an appointment for showing proof of employment eligibility (I-9 document(s)), your driver's license and social security card..

    Once you are registered with our system, you will receive an email directly from Frontline Absence Management instructing you how to get started and use the system.

    In addition to certificated (teacher) subs, we are also in need of classified subs. Classified subs have the opportunity to work in a variety of positions; school site secretary, paraprofessional - specialized (work in the special education department), campus support (classroom aide or yard duty), library clerk, and custodial. Classified subs are paid step one of the job classification on the LCMSD salary schedule (the classified salary schedules are pages 5-7).
