Central Community Schools has implemented a new automatic service to simplify and streamline the process of notifying substitute teachers when your services are needed in the district. This service, called AESOP (Automated Educational Substitute OPerator), utilizes both the telephone and the Internet to assist you in locating jobs in the school district for which you work. After you are assigned an ID number and PIN number for our district, you may interact with the system either on the Internet at http://www.aesoponline.com or by way of a toll-free, automated voice instruction menu system at 1-800-942-3767.

Please note: You may also contact AESOP to search for available jobs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at the website listed above or the toll-free number listed above.

When a substitute is secured for a teacher vacancy, the substitute teacher is expected to report to their assigned building. Each substitute is expected to check in with the principal or principal's secretary upon arriving at a building. An informational packet will be provided to the substitute for the assigned classroom.

Substitute teachers are paid on a once-a-month basis (the 20th of the month) and will receive their pay the following month that they worked. Central Community Schools now requires Direct Deposit of payroll for all new employees, including all substitute positions. With direct deposit, payroll is deposited directly into the bank account(s) you specify at midnight on the 20th. Please be sure to complete a "Payroll Direct Deposit Authorization Form" which is available in all our school building offices, or on the Employee Forms page of our school district website.

Checks will not be issued between pay periods for any reason. The payroll system is computerized to process checks on a monthly basis only. (If the 20th falls on a Saturday or Sunday, payday is the Friday before.)
