Prop A Sub

Prop A subs are auto-assigned to High Potential schools. 

Red Rover is the substitute management system where you can log in with your SFUSD email and password to start accepting assignments. Please see the guide for more information.

Substitute teachers who hold a 30-day sub permit can only sub in one classroom for 30 days, 20 days for Special Education classrooms. If the substitute teacher has a clear CA credential, they can remain past the 30 days for all other classrooms and 20 days for Special education classrooms.

Prop A substitute's daily pay rate for a full-day assignment is $412.33 and $206.16 for a half-day assignment. One day of assignment of sub teaching is more than 3.51 hours and half day sub teaching is 3.5 hours or less.  

Substitute teachers are paid monthly. If you hold multiple positions, one of which is paid biweekly, BOTH positions will be compensated on the biweekly payroll schedule.

Please refer to the pay schedule for more information.

Substitutes do not enter time on timesheets in EMPowerSF. The school sites verifies the hours worked and the sub office transfers your time worked which is located on your Red Rover calendar to your timesheet on EMPower. 

You can access your pay stubs online via EMPowerSF (instructions)
