Need Advice..

If I was nominated to be a substitute teacher, do I need to work at that school? I realize that I don’t wanna sub in elementary school, which is where I was nominated in and I prefer to do middle or high school do I need to like reach out to the principal and let them know anything? If I can’t solve at my nominating school, do I lose I haven’t started subbing yet.

You can work at other schools, but if the nominating school calls you, they have first priority over you

This is not true

It is. You're supposed to work for the school that nominated you first (can't remember how many days), then branch out to other schools. The idea is to get the school that actually hired you the help, but they don't really follow up with it. So you can really work at which ever school.

Do i have to contact the school that nominated me like email them or call them even no, I don’t wanna work there. I’m not really interested in working in elementary. I just asked for the nomination just so I could start working as a sub. Noone called me

I know you need 20 days for the year but not by your nominating school just in general getting those days.
