REGULATION

ARRANGEMENTS  FOR  SUBSTITUTE 
STAFF  MEMBERS

It will be the responsibility of the principal to assign a substitute to fill any vacancy caused by the temporary absence of a regular staff member.  The substitute teacher shall be selected from a list of approved substitutes furnished by the Superintendent's office.

In the filling of such temporary vacancies, an effort shall be made to secure substitutes who have full certification and, at the least, training or experience at the level or in the subject specialization of the teacher who is absent.  Only fully certificated substitutes shall be assigned to classes whose regular teachers are on long-term leaves of absence.

Principals shall attempt to maintain as much continuity as possible by engaging one (1), and only one (1), substitute for the full period of absence of the respective teacher and by calling back a substitute to serve in a classroom in which the substitute has already performed successfully during the same term.

A substitute teacher who teaches full time for the same instructor for more than twenty (20) consecutive school days will be paid scale wages beginning with the twenty-first (21st) day.  Scale pay is defined as the first step on the BA Degree level of the current salary schedule.
