License Requirements
Many positions with Springfield City School District require a valid Ohio license issued by the Ohio Department of Education (ODE). Principals, teachers (including substitutes), treasurers, coaches, educational aides and pupil services personnel are among those who need educator licenses.
To obtain a new license, these individuals will use an application for the credential through the Ohio Department of Education's Connected Ohio Records for Educators system or ODE.CORE.
