The Southwest Ohio Council of Governments (SWOCOG) is a partnership between Warren County Commissioners, Warren County ESC and Butler County ESC. It is the exclusive provider of all certified substitute teachers for participating districts.

NOTE: The overall SWOCOG does not typically employ substitute educational aides (paraprofessionals). However, WCESC does use them exclusively in some of our special needs programs.

WCESC Substitute Educational Aides (Paraprofessionals)

• WCESC special needs programs and a brief description of individual programming can be found in this document WCESC Special Programs (Class Type Descriptions)

If you are eligible to apply as a substitute teacher in the SWOCOG you will have the option to also be a substitute educational aide for WCESC special needs programming by completing the application process as usual.

If you are not eligible to be a substitute teacher because you do not hold a bachelor’s degree, you can still be a substitute educational aide for WCESC. Please keep reading to find out how.
