There are ten school districts and three charter schools in Lassen County. Each district operates independently, does its own hiring and substitute calling, and has its own salary schedule.
There are basic employment requirements common to all employers such as possession of a substitute authorization (credential/permit), verification of meeting basic skills, current TB clearance, and original pieces of identification (driver license, social security card, passport, etc). Be aware that each district may also have other employment requirements.
