Pros

A Cadre Substitute teacher is employed to cover the classes of absent teachers on all student attendance days other than the final day of a given school year. Cadre Substitute Teachers get health insurance.

Cons

Cadre status usually granted for one school year. Re-application is necessary. A day-to-day substitute teacher may be selected to serve as a Cadre in October, not at the beginning of the school year.
