If applicable, team members will receive reimbursement for travel expenses and the teacher’s school district will be reimbursed for substitute teacher expenses. Selected applicants will be asked to verify the willingness of their school or district to release them for work dates.

The online application will be posted for 30 days. Applications will be accepted through March 21. Selected team members will be notified by March 28.
