• 24 Hour Contingency (Last Minute): $140/full day or $70/half day

If a cancellation on the part of CHS occurs within 24 hours, the substitute will still be paid time for expected service even if service does not occur (example: teacher’s jury duty was cancelled the night before).

The School is a Religious Organization as defined by Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and accordingly reserves the right to employ persons who profess a Christian faith and have a philosophy of ministry similar to ours. While CHS gives preference to members of the Christian faith, the School is committed to equal employment opportunity. We will not discriminate against employees or applicants for employment on any legally recognized basis [“protected class”] including, but not limited to: veteran status, uniform service member status, race, color, sex, national origin, age, physical or mental disability, genetic information, pregnancy, childbirth, or any other protected class under federal, state, or local law except those exclusions specifically provided to Religious Organizations.
