MOESC now hiring substitutes for 2023-2024 school year
Mid-Ohio Educational Service Center is looking for substitute teachers to work in a number of area school districts.
HB 583 allows districts the flexibility to use substitute teachers with either an associate degree or high school diploma. Interested substitutes should contact the district(s) that they are interested in working to find out what they will be requiring.
To work within Mid-Ohio ESC’s client districts, candidates must submit a Substitute Teachers application, and new Substitute Teachers must submit their application by scheduling an appointment. MOESC has waived the application fee for the 2023-2024 school year. Candidates must also have a current BCI/FBI background check. Fingerprinting for a background check can be completed at the Mid-Ohio ESC office for a fee.
Other important information, including downloadable applications, can be found at Mid-Ohio ESC’s website.
Potential candidates with questions can call Mid-Ohio ESC at 419-774-5520 or email sub@moesc.net.

Gov. DeWine launches ReadOhio initiative
COLUMBUS — Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine has announced the ReadOhio initiative, a statewide effort to encourage improved literacy skills for all ages, including the implementation of curriculum aligned with the science of reading in k-12 schools. The since of reading refers to research that has been conducted for decades by scientists and literacy experts that shows there is an actual science behind learning to read and that certain skills need to be taught, including phonics.
In Ohio, 40% of third graders are not proficient in reading, according to Gov. DeWine.
The governor also released a video to explain what the science of reading is and why it is important. In addition, he announced a toolkit for school leaders whose schools are not already using a curriculum aligned with this method, at Education.Ohio.Gov/ReadOhio that will help educators prepare for the transition to science of reading instruction.
