There is one poster whose husband made the teaching transition 3 years ago, & has some semi-current experiences to share...
I am a sub. teacher that has had been able to sub at a level of 1-3 days a week (many thanks to the above teacher for that!) even in this economy... but it does take more 'selling' of your services than at some schools.
A word of advice, the public schools are a state district, and assignments can be for any school in the state system with one caveat: Charter schools, although public, have more intern hiring ability than most other schools, so you may want to introduce yourself to the charter schools in the area you are interested. There are also a few private schools that are very worth looking into. link for the charter schools:
