South Tippah Cafeteria Substitutes: What the District Posted
The flyer from South Tippah Child Nutrition carries a simple message: “Now Hiring Cafeteria Substitutes.” Substitute cafeteria workers fill in when regular child nutrition staff are out, so breakfast and lunch service can continue without interruption for students.
The district did not list pay rates, hours, or an application deadline in the posting. People who are interested should contact the Child Nutrition office directly for details.

Why Child Nutrition Staff Matter
South Tippah is the larger of Tippah County’s two public school districts. It serves about 2,500 students in six schools.The Child Nutrition team serves meals to students every school day, and a reliable pool of substitutes lets cafeterias stay fully staffed when employees are sick, on leave, or out for other reasons.
Substitute roles can be a good fit for people who want part-time or on-call work: retirees, parents whose children attend South Tippah schools, or anyone who wants to stay connected to local schools without a full-time schedule. When you call or email, it helps to know which days and schools you are available for.
The flyer notes that South Tippah Child Nutrition is an equal opportunity provider.
