Does anyone know whether substitute teachers in or around Indianapolis are likely to have work most days during the school year this year?

Yeah, I’d already seen that. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like there’s any contact info. I could leave a comment on one of his latest posts, but that would be hijacking which doesn’t seem right. I doubt he’d see the comment if I posted it on the one you linked to, since it’s three years old.
