Emergency Replacement Persons – Secondary Teaching

The TDSB is accepting applications for Emergency Replacement Persons (ERP) through the ERP online application process. The application can be found at the bottom of this page.

Emergency Replacement Persons (ERPs) are not qualified teachers but individuals who, typically, have expressed an interest in working with students in a high school setting and present with an educational and/or work background that reasonably supports their use for coverage purposes in emergency situations.
