Manage substitutes

Substitute teachers can work at many sites for limited periods of time. To facilitate this movement, create the substitute user at the district level and then assign them (or have school sites claim them) for a specific date range.

In CatapultEMS, Substitutes only receive alerts for their assigned sites. Unassigned substitutes do not receive alerts and cannot log in.
