Substitute Information

Information about Substitute Reimbursement

  • Pay will be provided for public and charter school teacher substitutes, at rates established by the NC Department of Public Instruction for certified ($121 + 7.65% social security and tax) and non-certified teachers ($93 + 7.65% social security and tax).
  • There is no substitute code for the Teacher Workshops on the Holocaust.
  • Attending teachers must sign a substitute reimbursement form at the workshop for his/her county.  This form is taken back to each county, filled out by county finance departments, returned to the Council and forwarded to DPI for processing. Reimbursement is via NC DPI Allotment revisions for PRC 003, not checks.
  • Teachers in public schools in NC are eligible to receive substitute reimbursement from NCDPI for ONE in-person workshop per school year. While teachers are welcome to attend more than one in-person workshop, they would have to find other funding for subsequent substitute pay after the first workshop.
  • In each school year, teachers from public and charter schools can only be reimbursed for ONE substitute for any NC Council on the Holocaust program. Teachers are welcome to attend more than one in-person program, but any subsequent programs after the first one will not have substitute pay provided for teachers who have already attended another in-person program.

Substitute Reimbursement Process

Step 1

Sign up for a workshop and then request a substitute through your county’s process. Inform your financial secretary that there is not a budget code, but that the district will be reimbursed for the substitute after you attend and the substitute reimbursement form is brought back to the district financial officer.

Step 2

Come to the workshop and sign in. At the end of the day, one person from your district will be asked to take the official substitute reimbursement form which will list all teachers from your district who attended, and give it to your district financial officer (not the school). Make sure you fill out the evaluation at the end of the workshop so you can also get renewal credits.

Step 3

Once the district financial officer receives the form and completes it, the form is then sent back to the workshop coordinator, who then sends it to its final destination at the Department of Public Instruction. From there, DPI will get the reimbursement forms to the school system to pay for your substitute.
