How to become a substitute teacher in Kansas
Kansas issues substitute teaching licenses through the Kansas State Department of Education (KSDE). We could not open KSDE's substitute license page on 2026-10-30, so we could not confirm the current education rules, fees or limits. Check KSDE's licensure pages for the latest requirements, and check with the district where you want to sub.
Checked October 30, 2026 on the Kansas State Department of Education's own pages. Rules change; the state's page and your district have the last word.
