The Sauk Rapids-Rice School District, like other Minnesota districts, remains proactive and creative in securing and sustaining qualified teacher substitutes. The district actively recruits and works with recent graduates at their specific university and/or college, has sought out past retirees who might be interested in substituting and partnered with the Sauk Rapids-Rice Education Association to develop possible solutions to maintain competitive compensation.
Looking for Flexibility and variety? Substitute positions work on an on-call, as needed basis. We have a variety of opportunities including, teachers, paraprofessionals, cashiers, food service, transportation, clerical and custodial.
