Substitute Calling Procedure
Homer-Center School District now uses the automated calling system AESOP. Once you are approved as a substitute by the Board of School Directors, you will automatically be placed into our automated system. If a substitute cannot be gained through this system, then you may still be phoned by a designated building secretary to schedule substitute work.
