Substitute teachers are some of the hardest working employees in the district. They are also always in short supply. Each morning the principals typically email their campuses to let them know which staff members are absent and if a substitute is available to cover their class. When there are not enough substitutes available, it makes the functioning of the campuses and the entire district much more difficult. 

We wanted to spotlight a group of substitutes who are extremely dependable. Coincidentally, they all happen to be related!  The Ford family consisting of Leo O. Ford, Donald Ford, Lillian Ford, LaSonia Ducette, and Cassandra Ward are consistently available to substitute at our campuses.  

They are particularly helpful for the high school campus. In fact, high school principal Liz Shoaf even commented once this past year that, "if it were not for the Ford Family, the high school would not be able to function." Please help us thank the Ford Family for being such dependable substitutes.
