IMPORTANT NOTICE (As of March 6, 2025): Freeze Forms and Tracking Numbers are no longer needed to process athletic assistants. Time spent as a Volunteer Coach is completely separate from paid status and will not be considered a retroactive extension. Full-time classified assignments may not be combined with Athletic Assistant positions.
Hiring & Process Flow: The authorized school site athletic staff hires an Athletic Assistant. Returning Athletic Assistants only need to be fingerprinted if they are new to your school or if their employee number is inactive in the school's payroll system. SAA at the school site will need to complete an RPA.
Prof Expert (Substitute Teacher): Complete and submit HR Form 9073 (RPA) and TCA 3167 Prof Expert Application to Interscholastic Athletics.
TCA (Retired Certificated Teachers): Must contact Interscholastic Athletics at 213-241-5847 to begin processing. Coaches must be retired for more than 180 days.
RPA Submission: Submit a Request for Personnel Action (RPA) form to your Assignment Technician.
