    Required State Fingerprinting Process 

    The 80th Legislative Session authorized Senate Bill 9 which expands the criminal history review by the State Board for Educators Certification (SBEC) to all public school employees including substitute teachers and subsitute nurses.  Substitutes must complete the process prior to being hired at KISD.  Substitutes must pay a fee of $47.50 for this process.  These fees will not be reimbursed by the district.  If you have had your fingerprints completed for another Texas School District, you should not have to repeat this process.  However, if you have completed fingerprinting for other reasons (including childcare providers, handgun licenses, nursing, etc.) you will be required to have them registered again to meet the requirements outlined in Senate Bill 9.
    If fingerprints are to be completed, we will contact you the week leading up to your scheduled orientation with the appropriate forms.

    Long Term Substitute Pay

    Long-term assignments are those in which the teacher substitutes for any KISD teacher for 10 or more consecutive school days.  Long-term assignments that are for the same teacher for 10 or more consecutive days shall be established prior to the beginning of the assignment.

    Should a break in service occur, the pay reverts back to the standard substitute pay until the substitute works another 10 or more consecutive school days.

    Orientation

    All substitutes are required to attend a Substitute New Hire Orientation.  The orientation will be held onsite at the Kennedale ISD Administration Building and will take approximately 3 hours.
