Rightsize. Right Support. Right for Students.
Portland Public Schools is undertaking a districtwide rightsizing process to better align our schools, programs, and resources with the needs of today’s students and the realities shaping our future.
Welcome to the Portland Public School’s Substitute Administrator webpage. The purpose of this webpage is to provide information that will support and assist substitute administrators in PPS.
Under the general supervision of a Senior Director, Substitute Administrators provide instructional leadership for an Elementary, Middle, PK-8, or High School campus while the regular full-time Administrator (Principal or Vice Principal/Assistant Principal) is unavailable.
Due to current budget constraints, we are closing our Substitute hiring pools for the remainder of the 2025/2026 school year.
If you are interested in substituting during the 2026/2027 school year, we encourage you to check our careers website in the coming months for updates and future opportunities. We are not able to offer a timeline on when the Substitute pools for next year may open at this time.
