A
"roving sub" assignment implies that you won't be in one classroom
the entire day. I've "roved" for several classrooms at a single
school. I've "roved" two different schools the same day to work a
half day at each.
It seems
that 2015 is the year of "perfect storm" conditions for substitute shortages.
The number of teachers being out of the
classroom has greatly increased for "Teacher Training" while the
number of active substitutes teachers has not. I know a number of substitutes purposely cutting
back work availability or leaving for one reason or another.
Last
week the district office contacted me to see if I would be willing to do
"roving assignments for the district office". I hadn't heard of this before
so I had to ask exactly what I would be doing as a "district office roving
sub".
I
would be pre-reserved as a "District Office Roving Sub" for any days
in the week I was willing to be available. If they didn't need me, I would
still get paid.
If they did need me, the office would call after 07:40am with a
list of schools and grade levels to pick from.
As an added bonus, being pre-reserved means that the
automated system will not be calling at
05:30am. My wife especially likes this feature.

I will retire in a few years and have been told by administration that if I come back and sub, I can have all the days I want. They are desperate to get subs; having someone like me will be gold. Now I have to decide if I want to do that!
