The Ohio Department of Education will issue a one year temporary substitute teaching license for people who do not have a bachelor's degree as long as they meet the local school district requirements. The 9 school districts that Ross-Pike ESD work with (Adena, Eastern, Huntington, Scioto Valley, Southeastern, Unioto, Waverly, Western, and Zane Trace) have determined that a candidate for this license must meet one of the three requirements:
1. Have an associate's degree or
2. Be participating in a teacher education program or
3. Have a superintendent/principal recommendation
