PROFESSIONAL  STAFF  EMPLOYMENT

Substitute  Teachers

The Board will establish the daily pay rate for substitute teachers.

The Superintendent will screen all applicants for substitute positions and recommend substitute teachers to the Board for approval.  The Superintendent will establish regulations to ensure that all substitutes used in the schools are on the Board-approved substitute list.

The Superintendent will have the authority to employ as many substitutes as may be necessary.

Persons assigned to long-term, continuous substitute assignments as teachers shall possess appropriate certification.

A substitute assigned to a long-term substitute assignment or in an assignment that is continuous for more than ten (10) days shall be required to assume all of the responsibilities of the regular teacher, including planning for the instructional program.

In the filling of these temporary vacancies, an effort will be made to secure substitutes who have full certification or, at the least,  training or experience at the level or in the subject specialization of the teacher who is absent.

Substitute  Professional  Staff  Members

●  In addition to the conditions set forth above, the temporary assignment of a person to a supervisory or administrative position shall be preceded by notification to the Board.  The Superintendent will detail the circumstances that created the need for the part-time employment.
