On July 1, 2018, Illinois House Bill 5627 was signed into law which allows individuals with 60 hours of college credit to apply for a short-term substitute teaching license. As a service to DuPage County school districts, the DuPage ROE will offer training that is required for this new short- term substitute teacher license. This training must be completed prior to teaching on this license.
