 ISD & ESS Substitute Solutions

Abilene ISD has appointed the education staffing firm, ESS Substitute Solutions, to manage its substitute program. As a seasoned company with nearly two decades of experience, ESS provides trained and qualified substitute personnel to school districts throughout the country. The ESS team’s record in helping schools increase their substitute fill rates has made a big difference for students.

ESS will become responsible for the hiring, training and placement of all substitute teachers, school aides and clerical positions for Abilene ISD. Nurses, custodians and transportation substitutes will still be managed by the district.
