5.  Obtain a written recommendation from a current Stokes County Schools Principal. If you do not personally know a principal, schedule an interview appointment with a principal. See Directory of Schools page for contact information.  The principal will submit a written recommendation assessment to the Human Resources Department for the substitute teacher.  If you are a Retired teacher of Stokes County Schools, the principal recommendation is not required.

10.  Substitutes are not full-time substitutes and are not a permanent employee. Substitutes are only employed on an as needed basis. There is no promise for continued employment. Substitute teachers have the ability to accept or deny employment at will; therefore, are not eligible for unemployment benefits when not working as a substitute teacher.
