StaffEZ to Employ GCS Substitutes for 22-23
The Grainger County School Board has voted to return to StaffEZ to employ our substitute teachers. This will allow our substitutes to work five days a week if they choose to accept jobs everyday whereas they were only allowed to work four days in the past. Substitutes are still needed in all areas. Anyone interested in substituting and all current substitutes MUST complete the StaffEZ online application. Any substitute that worked with StaffEZ (PESG) in the past will NOT have to complete the application. . Anyone with questions may contact Roger Blanken at 865-828-3611 or email rblanken@gcs123.net.
